    Get a guide to explain the importance of underground section which was only excavated in 1956. Refuse from 1500 years has been removed to show original limestone, travertine, and Roman brick construction. This was underneath all of the original apartments of Diocletian. The entrance gate from the riva side was his emergency exit to the sea.

    This is the southern entrance to the Diocletian's palace. Unfortunatly here are too many photos too see from other parts of the palace. Palace has 3 land gates and one southern sea gate. That southern sea entrance is at the same time the entrance to the basements or better substructions of the palace.

    This Bronze Gate,or "southern gate" is the smaller of the four principal Roman gates into the stari grad or old town of Split that was once Diocletian's Palace. Originally a sea gate from which the Emperor entered the complex by boat, via the basement rooms in the Imperial Palace. Today it is the main entry point from the Promenade to the Cathedral.

    The Brass Gate is a relatively small ancient Roman gate that led to the waterfront in its heyday and now leads onto the Riva Promenade. If you're entering from the Riva, the gate will take you to the palace cellars that were formerly used as storerooms, but now house the souvenir sellers. The gate is also kind of hidden from sight, so unless you are really looking for it, you just might miss it. Not very impressive, to be honest.

    Ignore the cheesy vendors and take a peek at the engineering of the palace foundation. During medieval times this was used as the town dump. It was lost for centuries only to be rediscovered in the 20th century. An entrance ticket is required to see more of the untouched portions. Otherwise, head straight away from the sea.

    The Bronze Gate (Croatian: Mjedena vrata, Latin: Porta Meridionalis), or "the southern gate" is the smaller of the four principal Roman gates into the stari grad (old town) of Split that was once Diocletian's Palace. It was originally a sea gate from which the Emperor entered the complex by boat, via the basement rooms in the Imperial Palace. Today it is the main entry point from the Promenade to the Cathedral. Stylistically, it is completely different from the other gates and of smaller dimensions. With the Renaissance name Aenea – Brass, it was also called the Security Gate because it offered the possibility of escape in case of an attack or conquest of the Palace. It is partly restored. This is the most common sightseeing starting point through which tourists reach the central parts of the Palace through the cellars. Great place to wander through looking at the small shops or to even visit the museum.

    It's one of the gates in the old town after passing the sellers.

    One of the four gates to enter Diocletian's palace. The gate is so so, what's inside is outstanding.

👍👍 Easily missed and, in my opinion, probably undervalued part of the former Palace. In here you get a sense of the scale of Diocletian's quarters, and the various rooms in there. Also some nice impressions of the archaeological process of excavating this place. More could be done with it, but still de...

👍👍 There are three things synonymous with Split: Diocletians palace, Marjan park forrest and FC Hajduk Split! Since Hajduk was founded in Prague by Split students studying there (Prague is birthplace), you could say that Stari Plac is it's cradle. It is a historic monument and I am completely against h...
