The Brass Gate: A Passage Through Time
Enter Diocletian's Palace through the Brass Gate, a historic passage connecting Split's vibrant Riva to ancient Roman wonders.
The Brass Gate, or 'Porta Meridionalis,' is the southern entrance to Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia. Smaller and less ornate than the other gates, it once opened directly onto the sea, serving as a secure escape route. Today, it's a bustling entry point to the Palace and its substructures.
