Dobar dan / Bok
People actually live inside Diocletian's Palace โ apartments, cafรฉs, 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.
Alfred Hitchcock called Zadar's sunset 'the most beautiful in the world.' The Sea Organ on the waterfront uses wave energy to play music through stone pipes โ sit beside it at dusk. The nearby Greeting to the Sun installation lights up at night.
๐ญ๐ท 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 โ making it one of the best-preserved Roman monuments with people still living inside.
๐ญ๐ท Zadar Fun Fact
Zadar has been bombed, besieged, and devastated more times than almost any city in Europe โ Byzantines, Venetians, Crusaders, Austrians, and NATO aircraft in 1944 all left their mark. Yet its Roman forum still stands in the city centre.
