Town Museum

Learn how Split evolved over the years at the Town Museum, housed in part of Diocletian’s Palace. See medieval sculpture from the belfry of the cathedral and 17th-century weapons used to defend Split. If your Croatian is a bit rusty, there are information panels in English and a handy app explaining the displays.
