In the year 305, when Roman Emperor Diocletian, who ruled the known world at the time, decided to construct a palace for his retirement, he knew exactly where to build it. Located in the heart of Dalmatia, in the bay of Aspalathos (modern-day Split), the site was perfectly sheltered from the sea by the islands of the Split archipelago and protected on its landward side by towering mountains. Here, Diocletian marked a special point on the map of the Adriatic — the future city of Split.
