SPLIT
Split
is not only an urban, cultural and traffic centre of
Dalmatia with road and sea
connections to Dalmatia's numerous summer resorts, but it is
itself often a tourist
and excursionists destination. A city with a 1700-year old
tradition, a variety of
archaeological, historical and cultural monuments, among
which the well-known Palace of Diocletian, inscribed into
the UNESCO World Heritage List, certainly occupies a
special
position, and the warmth and offer of a modern Mediterranean
city.
The first detailed tourist guide through the town and its
surroundings,
published in 1894, bears witness to the long tourist
tradition in Split.
