PATRIMONIO: Diocletian's Palace-Split

I want to make short remark about the Diocletian's Palace in Split which is very close to my home and where I have already been and it is sort of "patrimonio" of the ex country of Yugoslavia. 

Reconstruction

Diocletian was 39 years old when he became Roman Emperor in A.D. 284. He ruled for two decades until illness forced him to abdicate the throne at the age of 60 and retreat to a spectacular palace on the Dalmatian coast in the modern-day city of Split, Croatia. Constructed between the late third and early fourth centuries, the vast palace complex—3.04 hectares-in size—was built of local marble and limestone (Palace was built from white stone of the island of Brač in long term of 10 years).  The fortress-like structure was part military garrison, part imperial residence. Diocletian’s luxurious quarters included three temples, an impressive mausoleum, and a monumental colonnaded courtyard or peristyle, sections of which have survived more than 1,500 years.
