Ultra Europe Cruise 2026

SUMMARY

Split is well-known for the fortresslike complex at its center, Diocletian's Palace, erected by the Roman emperor in the 4th century. Once home to thousands, its sprawling remains include more than 200 buildings. Within its white stone walls and under its courtyards and galleries are bars, shops, cafes, cathedrals, hotels and several houses.
