The city of Split is located in the center of the Adriatic coast, in the immediate proximity of the rivers Jadro and Žrnovnica, which have been supplying it with water for some 1700 years now. Its mild climate with 2700 hours of sun per year make Split an oasis where one can enjoy sun even in the lee. The city with its 1700 long history has plenty of archaeological, cultural and historical monuments, among which the well-known Palace of Diocletian, inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage List, certainly takes up a special place, with its attractions, warmth and offer of a modern Mediterranean city. To be able to understand the historical significance of the city, one should first visit the museums of Split: the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments - a capital Croatian cultural project, established in 1893 in Knin; the Archaeological Museum from 1820, one of the oldest in Croatia; the Treasury of the Split Cathedral, including a valuable collection of religious art; the Ethnographic Museum, founded in 1910; the Museum of Marine History; the Museum of Natural Science. Also worth visiting are The Art Gallery, established in 1931, the Collection of the Franciscan Monastery in Poljud, the Mestrovic Gallery, and others.
