Two things worth knowing

#1 • Imperial Retirement Home

Roman Emperor Diocletian, a native of Dalmatia, built an enormous fortified palace in Split where he retired after abdicating the throne in 305 AD. Today, the ancient palace complex still thrives as the bustling historic core of the city.

#2 • Medieval Linguistic Legacy

The Baška tablet, carved around 1100 on the island of Krk, stands as one of the oldest surviving stone inscriptions written in the Glagolitic script. It represents a foundational monument in Croatian cultural history by explicitly mentioning the name of the Croatian king and people.
