This year is even more special: we are celebrating the city's 1700 years. On the 29th July the Tourist Board of Split organized "The night of Diocletian". It started at 8 pm, when the artists, together with the local people and whoever wanted to join in, dressed up as Romans and took over the streets and squares of Split, singing and dancing on the famous Riva promenade, the ancient squares of Peristil, Prokurative, Pjaca & Vocni Trg, and the underground rooms and halls of the emperor's palace.
These celebrations will go on for another couple of years, so we are all looking forward to next summer! |
