Built in 305 CE, this cathedral dedicated to the city's patron saint has a Romanesque bell tower.via Google
Originally built as Diocletian's mausoleum, this is one of the oldest Catholic cathedrals still in use.
- Good to know
- Climb the bell tower for panoramic views of the harbor.

Amazing cathedral. I recommend to buy the complete ticket that allows entry not just to the cathedral but also to the babtistery, bell tower and nearby crypt and treasury (plus the temple of Jupiter nearby). The cathedral is really beautiful (especially the dome) and serene and the views from the bell tower are amazing. Note, that the bwll tower is not suitable if you have fear of high places, as the stairs are narrow and you can see through the metal steps.
Beautiful landmark with an amazing view. The climb up the stairs can be a bit challenging, especially on a hot day, but it’s absolutely worth the effort. Once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of Split, the harbor, and the surrounding area. A must-visit spot for anyone exploring the city. Highly recommended!
Small but beautiful and it's always amazing to stand in Roman buildings still standing, even if much modified. The views from the tower alone are worth the admission.
Beautiful small church inside the Diocletian temple, from VII century. It was dedicated to Virgin Mary
Absolutely stunning, this is a must see if you are in Croatia. I highly suggest taking a guided walking tour with an expert as there are so many aspects to this palace. You get a sense of feel of the history, the culture, the different times in the different centuries. This is a great place to visit for somebody who is into architecture, going back to the 15th and 16th century, where you can see the architectural influences going back into the generations, just based on the stones that were used in the different sections of the cathedral.
