A Roman emperor's retirement palace from about AD 295-305 that grew into a living town. Its walls still hold about half of Split's old town, with shops, cafes and homes inside. The Peristyle, the cellars and the cathedral, which began as Diocletian's mausoleum, are the main sights. UNESCO World Heritage since 1979.
