The largest city in Dalmatia, Split is on a peninsula in the Adriatic Sea and is famous for its ruins of the Palace of Diocletian (built 295–305 CE). From 812 Split developed as a major Byzantine city, then from 1420 to 1797 it was held by Venice until the Austrians took over until 1918. Not surprisingly the Palace, together with the ancient royal residences, fortifications, and churches means it becme a UNESCO site in 1979.
