He visited during his walk in Split. North gate of Diocletian's Palace. After going straight north from the Palace Square, an arched gate appears. I was slightly interested in the building under the arch. It is composed of trapezoidal stone and maintains a fine balance of straight lines. It is the largest of the four palace gates and is said to have served as the (land) main gate of the palace in Roman times. It is said that during the Middle Ages, the castle was sealed off and its gorgeous decorations and columns were lost. The present gate was rebuilt and there are no statues of deities or emperors on display, but it shows the grandeur of the time.

The golden gate is the biggest gate located in the wall of the old town of Split, a city in Dalmatian Coast, in Croatia. It is a very beautiful big stone, which you cross to enter to the old town (or the Diocletian's Palace). Also, it is located near a big statue of Grgur Ninski, a very important bishop, who lived in the region in the Middle Ages. A picture of the statue and the gate is very nice.

The golden gate is one of the four main entrances to Diocletian's palace; this one is on the north side. It is pretty architecturally impressive, so we lingered for a few minutes to look around and admire it. We also learned about St. Martin's Church, which is located in the narrow passage just about the gateway. It's not really worth staying for long, but worth making sure you pass by it while you're visiting the palace.

This gate is one of the four principal gates into the old town of Split and was the northern gate of Diocletian’s Palace. This is a huge, solid looking entrance. Set into the facade are five niches, two on each side of the central arch and one above, four of which would’ve housed statues of the Tetrarchs, of whom Diocletian was one. Above that are three niches in between a blind arcade of seven arches.

I went here around noon, with my family, and let me say there were too many tourists. This is a place along the walking route of every tour there is, so every few minutes a group of tourists with a guide would walk past, take pictures and walk off again. It's pretty and gives access to old Split and the park situated next to it, but it's not worth going out of your way for.

This impressive gate was the main entrance to Diocletian's Palace, with towers and decorative elements above the arches. In the century. XI, the corridor between the palace and the gate was closed and transformed into the church of Saint Martin (Sv. Martin).

A beautiful old town to stroll around. Historic and beautifully restored. Not too big - you can easily view everything in one day. Unfortunately a bit crowded and overflowing, but still very nice to stroll through the narrow streets and go to the pretty little shops.

Very attractive architecture. Can be seen and moved on from pretty quickly. Avoid the roman centurion fancy dress guys unless you want to pay for a picture with them. Be sure to make a wish and rub the big toe of Gregory of Nin (the massive statue) because locals believe he will bring you good luck.

This gate was bathed in sun from behind when we visited so looked likes it namesake, the Golden gate. It is the gate furthest from the harbour.
It is a grand structure still standing within the original walls.
It is the gate to exit if you want to see the Grgur Ninski statue or get to Strossmayer park.
One of the four gate to enter the Diocletian's palace and it worth seeing all four as they are a major part of the cities history.
