Diocleation built the palace as a safe place to retire. He was born and raised in that area and wanted to go near home to retire. The "small" town near the palace was actually a large Roman city called Salona. Salona was the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia.

He was not from Italy but from Dalmatia. And bell tower is not built by Romans.

You guys are great! I really enjoyed watching you exploring old town of Split. People who were singing acapella songs in so called "vestibul" (an round building which the emperor Diocletian used, it was built in 4th century) are called "klapa" which is a Croatian word for dalmatian group of singers who sing in a unique way, they usually sing about love and life. That kind of singing is listed as a Intangible cultural heritage of humanity as is protected as that under UNESCO. We Croatians are very happy having good people, hope you enjoyed eating ćevapi! :)

I am loving your filming style in Croatia! I too would love to eat "local foods" in the countries I visit. I guess in the US you could go for "soul food." I just read a quote from Anthony Bourdain talking about how the most flavorful dishes are generally the ones made by the poorer people of any country on a daily basis, because they had to make do with less desirable, cheaper ingredients, basically "do more with less", and those also tended to be the most filling and hearty dishes as well. I think I would agree with this, as those are the types of dishes I tend to gravitate towards, local "comfort foods." Thanks again for sharing another great video!

@@robertbabic80 You are making the common error of assuming Spice = Heat. (Many people do this, so you are not alone!) There are hundreds of non-hot spices in the world, and using lots of these will make your dish "highly spiced" but not "spicy." It is a common failing in language that is prevalent in the food world. Spice is NOT used to kill bacteria in Asia or anywhere else because most spices are ineffective as anti-bacterial agents. You are also making the common error of lumping in all Chinese cuisine together, and ignoring the fact that the culinary traditions of each region vary greatly across that enormous country. The wealthier northern part of China may use lots of peppers and spice, while the rural southern provinces dishes use very little and are quite mild. The use or non-use of spice has nothing to do with "simple and clean food preparation processes." You know the main reason why Croatia or other cuisines do not have many spicy(hot) dishes? Because that type of spice was not native to the area, or was too expensive to use commonly. If it was grown there and widely available to the general populace, it would definitely be used in their cuisine.

In the old days girls were out until 6.30pm when church bell rang " health fo Maria", after that bell girls went home.

Yugoslavs even have a joke saying that the Bosnian flag should be a cevap. Most things you experience would be a shared culture between Bosnian, Croatians, and Serbs as well as other former Yugoslavs, I know you're not trying to misinform anyone but I would be careful as there's a lot of nationalism, agendas, and misinformation. Personally I would of loved it if you spent some of your time in Bosnia and Serbia rather than spend several weeks only in Croatia. The prices are also a lot more favourable for tourism there. Hopefully you'll return some day and give the region a more broad visit.

Despite what certain people want to counterfactually argue. However cevapi as we know them and certain other foods are very different to kebabs found in Anatolia or even Istanbul. It would be like saying spaghetti/noodles are really from China, whilst true it has also evolved over time, and Bosnia has probably the biggest relationship with cevapi as a cultural food.

@domagoj Actually, it seems that ajvar is serbian - and not originally turkish or traditional local at all.. It was invented in Belgrade at the end of 19th century as a consequence of caviar shortages (rough times...) But it is definitely based on the type of traditional vegetable spreads and dips which are more balkan-caucasian (look up ajika) than anatolian (turkish) in character. Oh and yes, ajvar is fantastic. A definite superfood - super tasty and super healthy. I bet it will explode onto the international scene sooner or later.

S crtom - With a line ... that's basically it :D It just some kind of marketing thing but it's very old and known in Croatia. When I was a kid, uncle brought us bag of those candies. I basically was almost finishing eating one whole bag by myself, when he said in mockingly surprised strict tone: "That is not lunch! Stop eating them!" I also got drunk by Pelinkovac couple of times...including sleeping through new year's evening and brother's bachelor party...
