This is just a small museum but is a good place to go for a bit of history of Split. Displa items include weaponary, books, artwork, statue and coins. The museum is in the Papulic palace which deserves a visit.

The Cathedral bell tower is the iconic building of split. It took three centuries to build and as a result is a bit stylistically confused... You can climb to the top of the tower to get some great views over the town. Whilst you're there, be sure to visit the crypt musueum and the bizarre octagonal St Duhe mausoleum

The old town is really beautiful and the kind of place that rewards not having a map and getting blindly lost. We wondered around for hours and stumbled on lots of lovely little churches, restaurants and bars many of which play live music in the evenings. Look out for the Marmontoro fish market and the Milesi Palace. The People's Square just outside the old town gates is the modern day centre of town and a great spot to head to in the evening.

This is a very popular tourist destination and can get horribly busy. Nonetheless its a wonderfully chaotic and quite beautiful site. In the million square metres that were occupied by the palace, the town has continued to grow up and the effect is very interesting. Make sure you ssee the Peristil and the subterranean vaults.
