most fascinating ports with a long and eventful history. There are great sights to see

The major part of the Dalmatian hinterland, with the towns of Sinj, Imotski, Vrlika, and Vrgorac, are also oriented towards Split. Split's growth became particularly rapid in the 7th century, when the inhabitants of the destroyed Greek and Roman metropolis Salonae (present-day Solin) took refuge within its walls.

Many of Split's historical and cultural buildings can be found within the walls of Diocletian's Palace. In addition, numerous museums, the National Theatre, and old churches and other archeological sites in the Split region make it an important cultural attraction. The present-day cathedral of St Domnius, patron saint of Split, built in the 7th century, is located in Emperor Diocletian’s Mausoleum, and due to this function its interior has been furnished with a valuable sacral inventory. In front of the entrance a grand Romanesque bell tower was built in the 12th century. Its splendid interior is still a place of worship for the faithful, and a place of attraction for tourists. In front of the cathedral is the Peristyle where the populace once demonstrated their loyalty to Diocletian, while today it is a popular gathering place for the faithful and tourists alike.
