With so much to discover at each stop, you\u2019ll want to slow down and take it all in.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-140924 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Diocletians-Palace.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"325\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is especially true of the Location placed at Diocletian\u2019s Palace. The palace is a whole complex of buildings that make up half of Split\u2019s old city. The ancient buildings tell the story of Emperor Diocletian\u2019s later years and the significance of the Roman province of Dalmatia, in which Split was a major city. To complete the Location, you must find your way to a particular building and answer a question about its windows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-140924 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Republic-Square.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"339\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another highlight of the Adventure is the Republic Square. This large public square was designed to resemble the grand squares and colonnades of Venice. The Initiative to build the square was started in the mid-19th century by Split\u2019s Mayor, Antonio Bajamonti, who came from an Italian family and wanted to highlight the Italian architectural style.<\/p>\n<p>Have you <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.geocaching.com\/\">downloaded the Adventure Lab\u00ae app<\/a> and completed one?
