Dioklecianova palača
ID: 59200-49
Dioklecijanova palača je antička palača cara Dioklecijana u Splitu.
Smrću cara Dioklecijana 316. g. život u palači se ne gasi, a preobražaji počinju već u prvim stoljećima života palače. Budući da je bila u posjedu rimskog dvora, pružala je utočište prognanim članovima carske obitelji, a najbitniji događaj bio je rušenje Salone početkom 6. st. kada je dio prognanog stanovništva našao utočište unutar zidina palače i kada počinje novi, organizirani gradski život. U razdoblju slobodne srednjovjekovne komune, između 12. i 14. st., dolazi do većeg arhitektonskog razvoja, kada su brojne srednjovijekovne kuće ispunile ne samo rimske zgrade nego i veći dio slobodnog prostora ulica i trijemova. U tom razdoblju započinje i izgradnja romaničkog zvonika Katedrale sv. Dujma. Romanička je umjetnost zastupljena i radovima velikih majstora kao što su Andrija Buvina koji je izradio drvena vrata katedrale u 13 st. i Juraj Dalmatinac, iz čije su radionice potekle raskošne plemičke palače u oblicima venecijanske gotike s naznakama renesanse (npr. palača obitelji Papalić). U katedrali je i njegovo remek-djelo, oltar sv. Staša.
Dioklecijanova palača nije samo izvanredan antički spomenik, nego je i nacionalno i svjetsko dobro. Zajedno s kasnijom srednjovijekovnom dogradnjom ona čini vrijedan arheološki i povijesno-umjetnički kompleks i zato je 1979. g. uvrštena na UNESCO-ov popis svjetske baštine.

Diocletian's Palace is a building in Split, Croatia, that was built by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century.
Diocletian built the massive palace in preparation for his retirement on 1 May 305. It lies in a bay on the south side of a short peninsula running out from the Dalmatian coast, four miles from Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The terrain slopes gently seaward and is typical karst, consisting of low limestone ridges running east to west with marl in the clefts between them.
In November 1979 UNESCO, in line with the international convention on cultural and natural heritage, adopted a proposal that the historic city of Split built around the Palace should be included in the register of World Cultural Heritage.
In November 2006 the City Council decided to permit over twenty new buildings within the palace, despite the fact that the palace had been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Monument. It is said that this decision was politically motivated and largely due to lobbying by local property developers. Once the public in 2007 came aware of the project, they petitioned against the decision and won. No new buildings, shopping center or the underground garage was built.
The World Monuments Fund has been working on a conservation project at the palace, including surveying structural integrity and cleaning and restoring the stone and plasterwork, expected to be completed in 2009. Much restoration is still needed, including excavating the extensive basement which was buried during the bombardment by the allies in World War II

Der Diokletianpalast ist ein antiker Baukomplex, der als Alterssitz für den römischen Kaiser Diokletian diente, welcher als einziger römischer Kaiser 305 n. Chr. freiwillig aus dem Amt schied. Der Diokletianpalast bildet heute die Innenstadt der kroatischen Hafenstadt Split und wurde nach der Römerzeit zu einer bewohnten Festung umgewandelt, welche in der Folge an unterschiedliche kulturelle Einflüsse angepasst wurde. Zahlreiche Gebäude oder bautechnische Veränderungen aus unterschiedlichen Epochen zeugen von der lebhaften Geschichte der Stadt Split. Die UNESCO erklärte den Innenstadt-Bereich des Diokletianpalastes im Jahr 1979 zum Weltkulturerbe.
