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.
