Split Old Town, a UNESCO-protected site, dates back 1,700 years and is nestled along the Riva seafront in Croatia’s city of Split. At its heart lies the semi-ruined Roman Diocletian’s Palace, surrounded by a labyrinth of narrow lanes where locals continue their daily lives. This car-free quarter offers a unique blend of ancient and modern, with the palace’s weathered stone walls and archways contrasting with the vibrant, bustling streets. Visitors can explore the historic remnants, wander through the winding alleys, and experience the living history that permeates this ancient yet lively neighborhood.
