Split > Omis > Split
Start our day with a delicious breakfast at Sug Restaurant, a highly reviewed place.
Diocletian’s Cellars once filled with water from different sources. It was treated as a dump by the medieval residents before being rediscovered in the last century. We walked the underground maze to explore the area. At the other end, most chambers, with the missing ceiling, are being exposed to the open-air.
Go to the center of the main square, Peristyle (Peristil), and looked at the surrounding architecture. Look out for the only intact black granite sphinx that was brought back from Egypt by the Diocletian. The red granite pillars were also from Egypt.
Entered the Cathedral of St. Domnius and noticed the detailed artwork at the various alters as well as the ceiling. The 13th century main doors with 14 scenes each, displayed the life of Christ. Climbed the Venetian-style bell tower for panoramic views of Split if you have the energy. Not for us as we are tired of conquering the bell tower.
The 12th century Jupiter Temple has the most preserved unique ceiling. No face patterned is repeated.
At the impressive Entry Vestibule, listened to the all-male band of Klapa singers performing the traditional Cappella harmonies. Find an angle to peek at the tip of the Cathedral.
There is a stair leading to the roof of this dome-liked structure. We can overlook the town in the open space and also had a closer look at the Venetian bell tower.
Wandered into the different streets where modern restaurants/shops meet the century-old buildings. Grabbed an ice-cream to cool off the hot weather.
Omis, where the Centina river and the Adriatic Sea meet, is a picturesque town. We took a slow walk along the beach with the breezing seawater under our feet. A relaxing afternoon, away from the busy city with the surrounding nature.
We had our dinner at Stari Plac, a pancake restaurant, recommended by the host. The pancakes are stuffed with ingredients and cooked to perfection.
