Mostly non-Roman street scenes and buildings in the old quarter...
 |
| Very narrow alleys |
 |
| And nice open squares |
 |
| Almost art nuvo... |
 |
| Former fish market |
 |
| Old archepiscopal seminary, now Islamic place of worship |
 |
Everything in the old city is paved in these polished
limestone slabs |
 |
| Croatia is big truffle country; don't you know? |
 |
| "Newer" building fronting the harbor |
 |
A gorgeous old building and piazza, dating, I would guess, from the Venetian
regime; no, the guidebook says, early 1800s, Napoleonic regime |
 |
| Beautiful little building stuck right onto the palace |
 |
| Harbor front |
 |
Back at the peristyle Roman bit, the Luxor cafe; there is inside seating but it's
more fashionable to order a drink and sit, using one of the cushion provided,
on Diocletian's steps |
 |
| Definitely not Roman |
 |
Fascinating place, the new slapped right onto the old, the old slapped right onto
the older...this is much of Europe, although here it is far more obvious, and with
far better preservation of the oldest bits |
