SplitIsAFlowerNotADessert


Our guide in Split reminded us that the city was named after a flower, not the American dessert, the banana split. It is most famous for being the retirement home of the Roman Emporer Diocletians, who ruled 2000 years ago. Many of the buildings in the town have simply been added on to the existing structure of the emporer's retirment palace. The first recycling?? In the photo, he is standing in front of a diagram showing how the palace would have looked.
