Split

We took a beautiful drive up the coast to Split.  The highway was dotted with fruit stands, so we stopped for a bag of fresh oranges...

Split is known for it's fortresslike complex at its center, Diocletian's Palace - built by the Roman emperor in the 4th century.  
Inside the city walls, we walked amongst the remains of the palace where over 200 buildings -  courtyards, galleries, shops, cafes, cathedrals, hotels, and several houses - are built right into the former palace.  This place has a very cool vibe...
The most impressive courtyard that we saw...
After touring the cathedral above, we went beneath to the creepy crypt...
So much cool architecture peaking out of the rooftops and alley ways...
Jupiter's Temple and St. John's Baptistery...

Such a fun day!
