People actually live inside Diocletian's Palace — apartments, cafés, and bars occupy the Roman emperor's retirement home. Walk through the golden gate at dawn before the crowds arrive. The Riva promenade is the evening social scene.
Locals dine late — restaurants fill up after 9pm. Pickpockets are common on Las Ramblas.
🇭🇷 Split Fun Fact
Split's old town is literally a Roman emperor's retirement palace. Diocletian built his palace in 305 AD to retire into, and citizens simply moved in after his death — making it one of the best-preserved Roman monuments with people still living inside.
🇪🇸 Barcelona Fun Fact
Gaudí's Sagrada Família has been under construction since 1882 and is still not finished.
