We continue our travel in Central Dalmatia (Croatia).
From the city of Trogir and on the "sea tram" go to the jewel of the Adriatic - Split.
First we inspect the Cathedral named Saint Domnius (Katedrala Sv. Duje, Horw. Dujam, Horw. Duje), the former in the third century the Bishop of Salons, although he is concerned only with the bell tower of the Cathedral, and the Church dedicated to the virgin Mary. Bishop blast furnaces among other Christians were martyred during persecutions of Christians by Diocletian in 303-304.
The Cathedral is in the centre of Diocletian's Palace, facing the West and overlooks the peristyle of the Palace. St. domnius Cathedral is composed of three parts, built in different epochs. The main part of the temple is octagonal in plan, the former mausoleum of Emperor Diocletian, built at the junction of the III and IV centuries. The choir of the Cathedral built in the XVII century. A tall bell tower near the Cathedral was built in 1100 and rebuilt in 1908. Despite the difference in eras, all parts of the Cathedral are constructed of the same materials - tufa, quarried in the local rivers and white limestone from the island brač.
Then walk through the evening and night Split. Going to see a concert of Croatian folk music and dance. And be sure to drink local wines in Beautiful Croatia! :-)
Early in the morning, when first rays of Sun illuminate the ancient Split, we will walk around the city! See how the city cleaner wash with shampoo as sleepy citizens go to work, the fish market, look at the price of fresh fish and shellfish, spend the first tourists in speedboats departing for the secluded coves and small Islands of Dalmatia...
Collect the suitcase and go further - we are waiting for the island of Hvar! :-)
But more about that in the next movie!
Don't go far!
