Peristyle Square (Peristil)

Peristyle Square, or Peristil, is the central plaza of Split, nestled within the historic Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Flanked by two Corinthian colonnades, the square exudes a classical elegance that has endured for centuries. Dominating the scene is an 187-feet (57-meter) belfry, which visitors can climb to enjoy panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea. The square’s layout and architectural details provide a tangible connection to the Roman past, making it a focal point for both locals and tourists.
