Explore Split with Wexplo, an AI audio guide that narrates Diocletian's Palace — a 1,700-year-old Roman structure that citizens never abandoned but instead built a living city inside.

Highlights
Why it works here
Split's palace-turned-city is unlike anything else in the Mediterranean. Wexplo narrates how Roman basements became wine bars, how the emperor's mausoleum became a cathedral, and how the peristyle — the palace's central courtyard — became the city's living room.

Compact center — everything on foot
Climb Marjan Hill from the western edge of the Riva for pine-shaded trails with views over the Adriatic islands. Wexplo narrates the hill's role as Split's green lung and the medieval chapels hidden in its forest.
