• Golden Gate - The primary entrance to Diocletian’s Palace, featuring exquisite niches that were once decorated with statues of Roman emperors. Inside, there is a unique mechanism of double doors known as the “human mousetrap.”
• The Peristyle of Diocletian’s Palace - This is the central square of the palace, where Diocletian’s mausoleum is situated—now the Cathedral of St. Domnius—and home to a 3,500-year-old sphinx that presents a riddle.
• Temple of Jupiter - Originally the temple dedicated to the chief Roman god Jupiter, it now serves as the baptistery of St. John. At its entrance stands a 3,500-year-old headless sphinx.
• Diocletian Palace Substructures - In these dim dungeons, Daenerys Targaryen kept her dragons chained, struggling to maintain control. It was also the place where slaves secretly planned their uprising to escape their masters’ tyranny.
• Vestibulum of Diocletian’s Palace - Here, a video of the Unsullied fighting the Sons of the Harpy will be shown, and a live a cappella group will perform traditional Dalmatian songs.
• Riva Harbor - The tour concludes by the sea, where guidance will be provided on what to explore for the rest of your visit in Split and Dalmatia, including dining options, beaches to visit, and tips for enjoying your time economically.
