Alberti Palace in Split

Alberti Palace stands within Split's historic core, in the network of narrow streets north and west of the Peristyle. Unlike the monumental Roman structures, residences of this kind reveal the smaller scale of elite domestic life in a city that evolved for centuries inside and around Diocletian's Palace. For visitors, this is primarily an exterior architectural stop on a walking route: look at the stone façade, the rhythm of its openings and the way the building fits among neighbouring houses. The palace will appeal most to travellers who want to move beyond the headline sights and follow the less obvious residential layers of Split's old town.
