Through his images, we first travel to the old city. Roman Emperor Diocletian, who ruled more than 1,700 years ago, founded Split. To this day, you can find his palatial residence situated in the city’s center as a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can also find the Cathedral of St. Domnius, known locally as St. Dujam. The Cathedral, consecrated in the 7th century AD, is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world. The structure itself was built in 305 AD as a mausoleum for Diocletian. Today, it serves as the seat of the Archdiocese of Split-Makarska. All photos by @croata PicsArt Monthly |79
