Diocletian's Palace

Split's "ghetto" isn't given a negative connotation like it is in the states. For Croatians, the "ghetto" is usually the historic part of town, in this case, the remains of Diocletian's Palace. Over the years, many of the arches and windows have been bricked over, either completely, or to fit modern windows. Most of the palace now houses apartments and cafés.

I like doors

I also like the green shutters on all the windows

Between Diocletian's Palace and the water, there is a broad alley called the Riva, full of restaurants, sometimes performers, and paved with stones mean to support the landing of an airplane.
