Split and Trogir

More people watching today. But first we had a tour of the Diocletian Palace proper which we left the first time around. Pretty amazing place down under the old city with cavernous halls of brick and stone, wonderfully preserved under centuries of garbage from the growing city above.




The palace above was torn down by the Christians after the, throw them to the lions, Diocletian finally died and his mausoleum was turned into a church. Then the city of Split was built in and around the halls and walls with the four main gates still remaining.





The people watching was fine as well.








See you soon

Love Wendy and Graeme
