Traditional Dalmatian Klapa Singing at Diocletian's Palace, Split, Croatia

Passing Thru wrote extensively about our travels through Croatia. Learn more from these blog posts: passingthru.com.... 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.
