The ruins of Diocletian's Palace, built between the late 3rd and the early 4th centuries A.D., can be found throughout the city. The cathedral was built in the Middle Ages, reusing materials from the ancient mausoleum. Twelfth- and 13th-century Romanesque churches, medieval fortifications, 15th-century Gothic palaces and other palaces in Renaissance and Baroque style make up the rest of the protected area.
Insight I
The palace was built by Roman Emperor Diocletian in his hometown. He was the creator of the Tetrarchy system and the first (and only) Roman emperor to voluntarily abdicate (May 1, 305 AD), spending the rest of his life here.
Insight II
It is the most well-preserved Roman palace in the world, and its cellars are one of the best-preserved ancient complexes.
Insight III
The UNESCO page lacks detailed criteria information.
