“Second day of the conference at the Diocletian Palace.”

The Diocletian Palace, located in Split, Croatia, is one of the best-preserved monuments of Roman architecture in the world. Built at the turn of the 4th century AD, it was commissioned by the Roman Emperor Diocletian as his retirement residence. The palace was more than just a luxurious villa; it was designed as a military fortress and included several temples, vast courtyards, and residences for soldiers. Over time, it became the core of the modern city of Split, with its ancient walls and structures still forming part of the city’s layout. Today, the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcasing a blend of Roman, medieval, and modern influences.
