Golden Gate

Serving as one for the four gates leading into stari grad of Split is the Golden Gate. Visitors can marvel at its stunning brickwork and closely examine the exquisite architectural features. Quaint cobblestone streets and vibrant houses, making it a wonderful location for a stroll and photo opportunities.

Built-in the early 4th century AD, the Gate was initially an entrance to the Diocletian's Palace. Now, it stands as a testament to ancient architecture and rich history, open for exploration and admiration. The gate used to be the emperor's and his entourage's exclusive entry to the palace. The Golden Gate of Split was reconstructed in the early 19th century after being nearly destroyed in the Middle Ages. With its complex carvings, columns, and arches, the gate has been brought back to its former splendor and has become one of Split's most recognizable landmarks. Golden Gate is a wonderful historical site that is a must-see overall.
