The city core of Split and the Diocletian Palace are a unique phenomenon of transformation of exclusively private (palace of an emperor) to exclusively public (Croatian city) from both architectural and cultural standpoint. The transformation of palace to a city is undoubtedly a permanent creative process with a functional and, above all, rather sophisticated and dynamic attitude toward the past. Split city core is not to be understood as a historical tissue but primarily as a paradigmatic case of urban culture providing opportunities of anticipative readings within the context of recent architectural contemplation.
