About this tour
This session starts at the Golden Gate, the grandest of Diocletian's Palace's four entrances, then follows a stretch of the northern wall beside it. You see the empty niches that once held statues along the gate's front and then the wall line itself, part Roman and part later addition. It sets up how the palace was built as a fortress as much as a residence.
We start under the gate with a sound check, then walk the wall for the second stop, taking questions about the statues and the later building work. A short list follows once the session ends.
It suits anyone who wants the palace's defensive side explained before wandering its streets freely. It also works well as a solid first session for a first visit.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way

A short list to keep 4 min

Good to know
