Split, the biggest port in Dalmatia is also the center of Dalmatia situated between the east part of the Kastela Bay and canal of Split.
The city was first settled when, 1700 years ago, the Roman Emperor Diocletian built his palace on the site of today's Split. Diocletian's Palace is well preserved Roman monument located now in the very heart of Split. Since 1979 it's on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Split is one of the warmest cities at the Adriatic coast and therefore one of the sunniest towns in Europe. Located in the very center of the Adriatic coast, this tourist, economic and sports region guards its green soul on Marjan hill, where a forest park near the city offers a comfortable and quiet atmosphere and a walk far from the town noise. The Split Summer Festival in July and vibrant night life that takes place in the Old Town makes Split attractive and content-packed city and a charming holiday destination throughout the year.
