Sažetak
The city of Split, with a population of 250, 000, is situated in the middle part of the eastern Adriatic coast. It is a typical Mediterranean city characterized by a good climate and vigorous life in urban open spaces. The historical core, listed as the UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979, had been built of good- quality limestone which has resisted weathering and different destructions for centuries. The development of the city dates back to the 4th century. Roman palace, which was built by the Emperor Diocletian, and its transformation includes alteration of old structures and insertion of new ones during different historical periods. Thanks to many different reasons, all the architectural layers in the historical core are well preserved and still functional. Namely, there are: Christian cathedral inside the Roman mausoleum, a family apartment within the Romanesque house, a luxury hotel inside the Renaissance palace, and the 20th century office building in the main city square. The recent archeological excavations proved that the settlement of Spalato can be traced to the 1st century ; therefore, the Diocletian’s Palace was not the first built at this site. This suggests that the origin of the city can be traced back three centuries earlier than previously thought, and confirms 2, 000 years of the uninterrupted continuity of life in Split.
