SPLIT, CROATIASituated on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea, Split is a major seaport and leading commercial centre. Its scenic location and historic monuments make it a popular tourist spot. Shipbuilding and production of cement, chemicals, and textiles are the leading industries. Split grew around the palace of the emperor Diocletian built between 295 and 305. It was later made an episcopal and later archiepiscopal see of the Roman Catholic Church. Split passed to Venice in 1420, and then to Austria under the Treaty of Campo Formio in 1797. The city has an archaeological museum, oceanographic institute, and teachers college. The palace of Diocletian is the most notable between Roman buildings in Split; other ancient buildings include the cathedral and baptistery, both originally Roman temples, parts of ancient walls and gates, and the town hall. |
