On the Grid : Cellars of Diocletian’s Palace

"If you walk on Riva and duck through the Brass Gate of the Palace, you’ll find a souvenir shop-lined underground passage that leads to Peristil. Look familiar? This is where the dragons are kept in Game of Thrones. While you won’t find any dragons there, you will find a well-preserved basement that retains the structure and floor plan that emperor Diocletian himself walked through. Throughout history, it was used as storage and for garbage, which actually helped preserve it to this day. As you wander through the cellars and gardens, you’ll come across several ancient artifacts, and several areas still under excavation." - Leslie Yeh
