This tour will cover most of the Split's centre main locations, with the story to be told from the perspective of most controversive historical and modern issues of the area. The Diocletian palace is so fascinated site, that was contested issue of the locals for every historical period.
Riva, traditional promenade of mediterranean towns, is the place where most of the public life happens and location where important historical events took place.
The old Venetian square is a great place to tell the stories of turbulent historical times when Split was the last frontier fighting the Ottomans. To tell the stories how that period is perceived nowadays and why those times still shape today's politics and local identity, this is the perfect location.
When we walk over the mentioned square, it is less know fact that under our feet there are human remains since the location used to be ancient graveyard. Some amazing events happend later on at this location, but also some of the infamous events.
One of the most famous Split's neighbourhoods is located here. While it is the most popular location for tourist stay in Split, not many of them knows the story behind the neighbourhood.
The square is named after the first croatia president. By mentioning him, the story takes us to turbulent times at the end of the 20th century, the century that is probably the hardest history lesson in croatian schools, with many issues that still divide the croatian society.
This is the location where our tour ends. From there we see the most famous view od Split and is chosen to be the spot where we will tell the final words of the tour and to give insight to the modern Split.
