Venue and Accommodation
SPLIT
Split is the largest city in Dalmatia, and the second largest city in Croatia, and represents the economic and cultural center of Dalmatia. It is located on the central part of the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, bounded by the Kaštela Bay on the west and north, and the Brač Channel on the south, and spatially covers the greater part of the Split peninsula, which connects to the mainland on its northern and eastern sides.
The city center, located on the eastern side of the Marjan peninsula, which is now a protected park-forest, consists of the ancient Diocletian’s Palace from the 4th century (under UNESCO protection since October 26, 1979), which is a unique example in the world. Leaning against the ancient palace, along the southern seacoast towards the west, rests the medieval core. Around these two cores, which today form a whole, towards the west, east and north, many newer and even modern Split settlements have sprung up over the years.
On the northern coast of the Split peninsula is the City Stadium Poljud, which has been the home of the famous football club HNK Hajduk, the famous Split shipyard, which today is called Brodosplit and which has been Split’s largest economic entity for many years, as well as the port of Lora, where today it also houses the headquarters of the Croatian Navy.
