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

A magnificent museum that tells the story of Diocletian's Palace, from its ambitious design to its completion. A careful tour and the information panels gives an idea of ​​how magnificent it was. They offer a family ticket that helps you save some money.

Really cool spot to explore under Diocletian’s Palace. The cellars are super atmospheric—massive stone halls that feel like you’ve stepped back into Roman times. It’s crazy to think how well-preserved everything is. You can wander around at your own pace, and there are signs explaining what each area was used for.

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed when visiting the ancient cellars of the Roman palace. Granted, there were descriptions of what each room was used for and what it contained, and the architecture itself wasn't in bad shape – in fact, it was well preserved. However, it lacked that “wow” factor, some effort to reflect the lifestyle of the Romans who once worked there. Instead, it was just empty and damp corridors. Admittedly pretty, but still missing something.

The tours are a fantastic way to understand Roman/European history and what an important impact Split and the old world played in the times. Game of Thrones set locations were a bonus for fans, but not the thrust of the tour. Dino was a fantastic tour guide.

The Roman landmark still stands, its ruins fairly refined, and now eatries and drinking parlors lined the wall of a once-hallowed castle in the Dalmatian region...

The if you like history and architecture it's worth a look, 8€ entry for adults, and a nice way to get out of the 30c heat for hour

For €8, I explored the basement halls beneath Diocletian’s Palace—massive Roman stone chambers that once supported the emperor’s living quarters above. They were filled with debris for centuries but were gradually cleared out, revealing their impressive structure. The space has a strong Roman vibe, and there are lots of informative boards explaining its history and function. Bonus: it was used in Game of Thrones Season 4 as the place where Daenerys Targaryen chains her dragons in Meereen—super cool to see in real life. A quick, atmospheric stop that’s especially great for GoT fans.

The cellars are located right below the palace. There is a path right in the center of the palace going via the cellars that opens at the promenade infront of the bronze model of city, so the cellars also serve as nice little shortcut to promenade. For a small fee one can explore the deeper rooms within the cellars, which were used as a filming location for chaining the dragons in season 4 of Game of thrones.
