Golden Gate, known as Porta Aurea, was originally constructed in the 4th century as the main entrance to Emperor Diocletian’s Palace and stands as a testament to late Roman architecture. The gate leads directly into the heart of the UNESCO-listed old town, guiding you to landmarks like the Peristyle and the Cathedral of Saint Domnius. Nearby, the imposing statue of Gregory of Nin by Croatia’s famed sculptor Ivan Meštrović awaits, with locals and travelers alike rubbing its big toe for good luck. The area brims with cafés, shops, and a lively ambiance, making it a perfect starting point for exploring Split’s labyrinth of ancient streets. Consider joining a walking tour to fully appreciate the site’s rich history.
