On your way to Split, be sure to visit Solin, the cradle of Croatian history, the town built on the remains of ancient Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. A Roman amphitheatre in Salona is certainly not to be missed.

Solin is a town in Dalmatia, Croatia. It is situated right northeast of Split, on the Adriatic Sea and the river Jadro.
Solin developed on the location of ancient city of Salona which was the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and the birthplace of Emperor Diocletian.
After the arrival of Avars and Croats n the 7th-century town was destroyed, and its refugees moved to settlement in and around Diocletian’s palace, “Spalatum” (Split), turning
it into a fortified town. In the Early Middle Ages Solin was part of the Croatian territory and played an important role in Medieval Croatian state, being one of the political centres.
In the 20th century intensive industrialisation process of the Split basin made Solin no more than a suburb of Split.
Today, with its independent municipal status, Solin is part of the Split conurbation, well connected with other towns. Besides industry, a tourism is being developed
lately based on numerous archaeological sites and Solin’s distinctive image that comes from many urban parks along the Jadro.

he Klis Fortress is a medieval fortress situated above a village bearing the same name, near the city of Split, in central Dalmatia, Croatia.
From its origin as a small stronghold built by the ancient Illyrian tribe Dalmatae, becoming a royal castle that was the seat of many Croatian kings, to its final development
as a large fortress during the Ottoman wars in Europe, Klis Fortress has guarded the frontier, being lost and re-conquered several times throughout its more-than-two-thousand-year-long history.
Due to its location on a pass that separates the mountains Mosor and Kozjak, the fortress served as a major source of defense in Dalmatia, especially against the Ottoman advance,
and has been a key crossroad between the Mediterranean belt and the Balkan rear.
