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

Honestly there is not so much to see inside, but if you are a fan of ancient architecture, I think you might like it. The explanations weren’t a bit boring, but it’s a big place that they excavated so much that they definitely deserve your 8 euros. You can take nice pictures.

Entry fee is discounted with a Split Card. Worth coming to in the morning before the crowds show up. Super interesting to those who care about history and architecture.

Diocletian’s Cellars were interesting as you could see the foundations of the palace. Lots of placards describing the history and was in each of the rooms. All the interesting artifacts have been removed to museums limiting my historical interest.

Fun place to see and it is where the queen of dragon was locked in the tv show game of thrones. Unfortunately, the bust of Diocletian was broken by a tourist last year (?) so we did not see it.

If you are really interested in the history, yes visit it for 8 euros per person. The main parts are free. The whole town is historical. I asked for the receptionist to give some info before we buy the tickets. She refused to let us to have a look at the brochures.

Very interesting from the archeology point of view. Impressive to see so well preserved a so ancient structure. However, it is expensive for the little there is to see. In the end, it's a series of mostly empty cellar rooms, most of them very similar from one another.

A must see in Split especially if you are a Game of Thrones fan as the cellar is where they filmed the dragons' lair.

The underground vaults of the Imperial Palace are a fabulous place to visit. Entrance was €7 and you are guided through a maze of rooms in two separate areas. There are lots of information boards that show what it was originally like. The rooms have no decoration and are bare stone but there are some artifacts that were discovered during excavation. It was also quiet with very few visitors so it gave us a chance to wander round at our own pace. The entrance is down the steps to the left of the cathedral as you exit and it's well worth an hours visit.
