    Ancient Salona

    Guests will explore the ruins of ancient Salona, once the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and one of the most important cities on the eastern Adriatic. The guide will explain how Salona developed into a major Roman urban centre with city walls, gates, streets, public buildings, residential areas, theatres and an impressive amphitheatre. The tour also introduces Salona’s early Christian heritage, including cemeteries, basilicas, martyrs and bishops who made the city an important religious centre before the rise of medieval Split. Depending on time and accessibility, the visit may include Manastirine, Tusculum, the Episcopal Centre, the theatre area and the amphitheatre. This stop gives guests a deeper understanding of Roman Dalmatia, early Christianity and the historical importance of Salona in the wider story of Split and the surrounding region.
