Vincent Poon :: Split
 
More than just any coastal city along the Adriatic coast, what made Split so unique is that the city itself was once one huge palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Nowadays you could still relive this history once you pass through one of the four gates of the palace

Another model, but this time it shows the Diocletian Palace
Entrance to the old city or the palace is through one of the 4 gates... The Brass Gate is the most popular entrance from the seafront
If you enter through the Brass Gate, you have to descend to the basement first before you climb back up. Now this part of the basement has become a shopping mall for arts and souvenirs
It felt like walking through an underground market

They sell all sorts of artefacts here, ranging from souvenirs to these arts and crafts
Once you are through the underground mall and climb up, you will find yourself in an interior courtyard of the Roman complex - the Peristyle
Taking a 180 degree turn you could see the more impressive side of the Peristyle. Right at the furthest end is the exit where we clibmed up from, as well as a path to the living quarters

This is like a common place where people would just sit down around, grab a drink and enjoy watching people moving around
Sometimes you would see some gladiators at work here
At other times you could see something special. We bumped into a wedding by chance. Btw the maid of honor looked nicer~
On the way to the Iron Gate, We bumped into the couple again after they finished the ceremony and people were cheering as they 'marched' along the streets of Split
