This walking tour takes you through the heart of Split's Old Town while exploring the city's dramatic 20th-century history. Along the way, you'll visit Đardin (Strossmayer Park), the bustling Green Market (Pazar), the Peristyle inside Diocletian's Palace, the historic Jewish Passage (Židovski prolaz), Pjaca (People's Square), the famous Fish Market (Ribarnica), elegant Marmontova Street, Prokurative Square, and the Riva waterfront promenade. At each stop, discover how these familiar places became witnesses to World War II, the Italian and German occupations, Allied bombing, socialist Yugoslavia, Croatia's fight for independence, and the country's transformation into the modern European nation it is today.
