More of the Roman bits of Split, Croatia...
|
Back in the peristyle area of the palace; a nice sphinx, one of more than a dozen originally |
|
Oculus |
|
Certainly the coolest thing about the palace is the basement, which extended over about half the complex (it was built on an incline), and which you can visit; about 1/3 is the souvenir shoppes area, here (Diocletian's Bargain Basement) |
|
For a few kuna, you can go into the other 2/3s |
|
Vicki points to...well, I think that's where our campground is |
|
This is the large hall where Daenerys locked up the dragons; much more GoT stuff coming up in the out-takes.. |
|
Abundant spare parts in the basement |
|
Also abundant centuries of sludge and refuse the residents dropped down through holes in the floor above; archaeologists are drooling to get into it |
|
Another of the sizable halls; barrel vaulting |
|
Ever more Roman stuff |
|
Bust, I would guess recent, of the Emperor (ret.) |
|
Sphinx bit |
|
And ever more spare parts |
|
Outside, the only mosaic we saw in the place |
|
Restaurant between the arches |
