It all started when one man thought it would make for a nice location for a retirement home…
That man happened to also be a Roman Emperor, and the name of Emperor Diocletian has been immortalised in Dalmatia by the impressive retirement palace which bears his name, and which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
There are also few places in Croatia which have undergone such a transformation as the palace in the 18 years I have been living in Croatia. When I first came, Split was known as the ‘Gateway to the Islands’, and the warren of tiny streets and alleys were much less lively – and even a little intimidating in winter.
As tourists discovered the magic of Split, so too did the nature of Diocletian’s Palace change once more in its 1700-year history. Boutique hotels, AirBnBs, restaurants and wine bars, arts and craft shops. On every corner, something new to experience, buzzing with life. Diocletian’s Palace became a hit.
And property in Diocletian’s Palace was in big demand – and short supply.
