Salona

Solin is an important cultural centre and archaeological site, situated at the mouth of the river Jadro near Split. Today’s Solin started to develop in the 4th century B.C. as a Greek – Illyrian settlement. Contemporary Salona was a port of the Illyrian tribe Delmati, who traded with the Greek seafarers. It was both a fortress and a port to Delmati while later, in the 1st century B.C., Salona was conquered by the Romans. After the conquest, Salona became the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. History tells us that the Roman emperor Diocletian was born in Salona  and that he built his palace nearby. This palace is known as Diocletian’s Palace and it became the core of the modern city of Split.
Rich archaeological remains are visible in the imposing walls and their towers and gates, a forum with temples, a theatre, an amphitheatre, unique Episcopal monuments and an early Christian church in the cemetery where they buried Salona martyrs. Also St. Dujam, the Solin bishop, martyr, the patron saint of the town of Split is buried on Manastirine.This important site near Split is the largest complex of ancient monuments in Croatia, and visited by a large number of tourists throughout the year.
