Diocletian's palace

Dioklecijan je bio rimski car od 284. do 305. godine kada se povlaĉi u svoju palaĉu u Splitu. Palaĉa je relativno pravokutnog oblika omeđena zidinama i kulama. Unutar palaĉe istiĉu se dvije glavne ulice u pravcu sjever-jug i istok-zapad koje sa svake strane završavaju vratima. Odmah pored sjecišta ulica u središtu nalazi se Peristil. Zapadno od Peristila nalazila su se tri hrama, a istoĉno od Peristila carev mauzolej. Južno od Peristila kroz gornji dio preko kružnog Vestibula dolazi se do Dioklecijanovog stambenog prostora te konaĉno careve šetnice uz južni zid. Također, južno od Peristila kroz supstrukcije dolazi se do južnih vrata koja imaju morski prilaz. Sjeverne prostorije palaĉe slabo su istražene. Pretpostavka je da su tu bile prostorije za vojsku, sluge, robove, spremišta i sliĉno. Drugu pretpostavku iznosi Joško Belamarić smještajući u sjeverni dio palaĉe ginecej.Diocletian was Roman emperor from 284 to 305 when he retired to his palace in Split. The palace is an almost perfectly shaped rectangular surrounded by walls and towers. There are two main roman streets within the palace that stand out running north - south and eastwest and both of them on each side end with doors. Next to the street intersection in the center is the Peristyle. Three temples were located on the western side of Peristyle and on the eastern side of the Peristyle was an emperor's mausoleum. On the southern side of Peristyle, the upper part over a circular Vestibule leads to Diocletian's living space and finally the emperor's promenade along the south wall. Also, on the southern side of the Peristyle substructure leads to the southern door with sea access. Northern rooms/areas of the palace are poorly researched. The assumption is that there were rooms for the army, servants, slaves, storage and similar. The second assumption is by Joško Belamarić who places gynaeceum in the northern part of the palace
