Palace to Village: Diocletian’s Fortified Home Reborn as Spalato
In a travelogue tone, the author recalls Diocletian’s Eastern Adriatic palace near Spalato, now a bustling modern town. The piece contrasts ancient ruins with medieval lanes and highlights sites such as a cathedral replacing Jupiter’s temple, a baptistry, and the Franciscan cloister at Ragusa, amid reflections on history away from markets and stock exchanges.
