A Roman emperor's palace that became a town: walk the cellars, the Peristyle square and the lanes where homes, cafés and shops fill the old walls.
The cathedral sits inside the emperor's own mausoleum, with a tall bell tower you can climb for views over the rooftops. Hours change with the season and Sunday mornings are for Mass.
Ivan Meštrović's giant bronze bishop stands by the palace's Golden Gate; visitors rub his big toe for luck.
Croatia's oldest museum, with Roman carvings, inscriptions and finds from Salona, set around a quiet garden courtyard about 15 minutes' walk north of the palace.
The sculptor Ivan Meštrović's seaside villa, now a gallery of his work with a sculpture garden. About 3 km west of the centre: a short taxi or city bus ride.
