Next, travel just outside the city to Salona, once the vibrant capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. Stroll among evocative ruins, including ancient city walls, the forum, early Christian basilicas, and the remnants of the amphitheater.
After immersing yourself in Roman history, continue to Klis Fortress, a dramatic medieval stronghold perched high above the Dalmatian countryside. From its ramparts, enjoy sweeping panoramas and hear tales of its strategic importance from Illyrian times through Roman, Croatian, and medieval eras.
This half-day experience blends the grandeur of empire, the intimacy of medieval strongholds, and the living pulse of a vibrant Dalmatian city.
