Salona

Salona was an ancient Roman city and the capital of the province of Dalmatia, located at modern Solin near Split, Croatia. The archaeological park preserves extensive remains: city walls and gates, an episcopal complex with basilicas and a baptistery, a forum, theatres, baths, an amphitheatre, an aqueduct and cemeteries.

Partial ruin

As it stood in AD 450

What Salona looked like in its prime.

A broad grassy archaeological plain punctuated by low, stone-built walls and the bases of larger masonry structures; fragments of columns, apses and towered curtain walls sit on limestone karst. The Great Thermae's rectangular footprint with multiple apses, a ringed amphitheatre outline, and stretches of aqueduct arches are visible. The Porta Caesarea's paired octagonal towers and triple passage stand on the eastern edge; distant low hills and the modern town sit beyond the ruins under bright Adriatic light.
