After a busy day in the beach the next day we decided to take a stroll and see for ourselves the very known tourist destination in Split, Crotia the Diocletian's Palace. Its very hot that day since we went there around 1pm but still you can see a lot of tourist and when we went to see the golden gate Leila was frustrated because she did not see any gold hehehe. The men who are in Roman soldier attire are there as part of the school activity but you can have a picture with them and you give them tip.
This place was featured in the famous HBO tv series Games of Thrones and its the City of Meereen.
"Diocletian's Palace is an ancient palace built for the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, which today forms about half the old town of Split, Croatia. While it is referred to as a "palace" because of its intended use as the retirement residence of Diocletian, the term can be misleading as the structure is massive and more resembles a large fortress: about half of it was for Diocletian's personal use, and the rest housed the military garrison.
The complex was built on a peninsula six kilometers southwest from Salona, the capital of Dalmatia (Roman province), one of the largest cities of the late empire with 60.000 people and birthplace of Diocletian. The terrain around Salona slopes gently seaward and is typical karst, consisting of low limestone ridges running east to west with marl in the clefts between them. Today the remains of the palace are part of the historic core of Split, which in 1979 was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site."
