  • Passing Thru wrote extensively about our travels through Croatia. Learn more from these blog posts: passingthru.com/category/trave.... Diocletian’s Palace is a seaside compound consisting of a villa, temples of worship, public square and walled military garrison. It was built for the Roman Emperor between 295-305 CE.
    Klapa - meaning “group of friends” - is Dalmatia’s traditional a cappella singing.
    The Palace Vestibule was intended as a place to greet visitors before they entered into the residence.
    The most dramatic feature of the Vestibule is its open air oculus. “Oculus” is Latin for “eye.” The oculus is seen as a path between earth and sky.
    UNESCO has inscribed klapa in its Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and listed Diocletian’s Palace as a World Heritage site.

    Before I visited Croatia for the first time a few years ago, I had seen a clip of a Klapa choir on a travel program (Rick Steve’s?) and their performance really took my breath away. So when I finally made it to Split, my # 1 objective was to find one of these choirs. And I did. And the wonder of their sound, as they stood singing in a portico of Diocletian’s Palace, sent chills up and down my spine. I bought their cd and, listening to it years later, it has the same mesermizing effect on me, even as I drive to my work, very, very far away from the beautiful Dalmatian Coast.

      Once I was on the island of Vis and few random locals just gathered to sing accapella. There was an old lady looking out of her stone house window It was like being in a different time slot, in a fairy tale, so beautiful.

      The Diocletian's palace is marvelous and very well preserved considering how many wars town of Split has been through since the time palace had been built (1700+ years). Right now there are many conservation projects in and around the palace where they preserve and clean ancient stone walls, cathedral, towers, etc. If you visit it in a year or two you'll cry out of happiness!
      P.S.
      The Emperor divided it into Western Roman Empire not Holy Roman Empire. Holy Roman Empire is a whole different thing that came at a later time, in 10th century, and has nothing to do with emperor Diocletian 😀

      What a quirky Serbian shit. Can you not simply stay where you belong in this "Pasaluk" in and around Belgrade, forgotten by the Turks in the Balkans? How do you get to speak about Croatian culture and tradition in Serbia of forgotten Turkish slaves?
