Split is a city on the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia. The second largest in the country, it is a distinctly Mediterranean city littered with ancient ruins dating all the way back to the Greeks and Romans. Most significantly, the city became the home to the Emperor Diocletian in the fourth century, who built a vast palace here. It’s so vast that most of the city’s Old Town sits within the palace walls. Though most of the buildings date from much more recent times, the exterior walls and their gates are indeed the genuine article.
Diocletian was born in Dalmatia in 242CE to a family of low birth. He was a soldier and worked his way up the ranks of the army until his troops one day declared him emperor. His reign stabilised the empire... but he also enacted the largest persecution of Christians ever by the Romans. Diocletian was a great reformer and his ideas arguably kept the Roman Empire together for the following hundred and fifty years. He abdicated the throne in 305CE, becoming the first emperor to do that, choosing to live his retirement out here in Split.
Historically, Dalmatia was a part of the Venetian Empire. Hence why there’s a very strong Italian influence on it’s architecture. During the twentieth century, Dalmatia formed a part of Yugoslavia and became its most sought-after holiday destination. Yugoslavia was a country united by its belief in Communism, but when it fell apart at the end of the 80s, its peoples discovered that they had very little in common with each other whatsoever. The result was the Balkan Wars and the fragmentation of the country into all the small states that exist today. The Dalmatian Coast is very close to Bosnia & Herzegovina, but you only have to visit the latter to see the extreme differences between the two.
One thing they do share, however, is waterfalls! The region is riddled with travertine waterfalls, which are limestone steps that form a cascade system. The River Krka here divides and fans out across numerous shallow but fast-flowing tendrils, each flowing across numerous waterfalls, before rejoining again further downstream. The result is really impressive and a daytrip to the National Park takes you through the full network, ending at its most impressive view. Croatia’s most famous waterfalls are at Plitvice, but those are much further north. But Krka is actually the larger of the two.
Everyone knows how beautiful Croatia is, but it’s definitely worth coming to see for yourself. Just try to come off-season, like we did, because this tiny country is one of the biggest victims of over-tourism in the world. But it’s certainly clear why. There’s just so much to see and do!
