Diocletian's Cellars

This place is cooler than the upside. I found that the tickets were worth it, you can't see this place without tickets. It's wonderful to see the underside of the palace all cleaned up, restored, and it's such a huge marvel of Roman engineering.

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.

I definitely recommend this since it’s only 8e. I got much more than I expected. The atmosphere is pretty magical, especially if you get a chance to wonder around alone. If the walls could talk 😅

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.

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 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...

If you’re exploring Diocletian’s Palace in Split, a visit to Diocletian’s Cellars is a must. These ancient underground rooms are incredibly well-preserved and give you a great sense of what life might have been like during the Roman era. The cellars were originally used for storing goods, but now they serve as a historical site that showcases the impressive architecture of the palace’s foundation. It’s a cool, quiet spot to escape the crowds above ground, and you can really appreciate the scale and history of the place. The stone walls and vaulted ceilings are impressive, and walking through them gives you a glimpse into the grandeur of the original structure. If you’re interested in history, or just looking for a bit of coolness in the hot Split weather, Diocletian’s Cellars is a fascinating and peaceful spot to visit.
