Diokletian Palace
Web
Hello I found your listing on Localyte and hope you can help me. I am trying to find out if the Diokletian Palace is open past 5 pm during the week so I can properly arrange my days. Do you know if there is a website to find this information? I have looked here on this site but the details are not available. Thanks much.

As a few of my mates answered allready, the Diokletian Palace as it stands making part of the central part of the city of Split is always open, the museum, which would be the cellars close in summer time around 7 - 8 PM as well as the Catedral and Jupiter Temple.
As for the information about you can find easily if you look for Split in any searchmachine as google or others.
In any case you will enjoy your visit to Split and our dalmatian coast.
Greetings.

And for the cellars you'll need to pay for the entrance.

This palace is today the heart of the inner-city of Split where all the most important historical buildings can be found. The importance of Diocletian's Palace far transcends local significance because of its level of preservation and the buildings of succeeding historical periods, stretching from Roman times onwards, which form the very tissue of old Split. The Palace is one of the most famous and integral architectural and cultural constructs on the Croatian Adriatic coast and holds an outstanding place in the Mediterranean, European and world heritage.
In November 1979 UNESCO, in line with the international convention concerning the cultural and natural heritage, adopted a proposal that the historic Split inner city, built around the Palace, should be included in the register of the World Cultural Heritage. The Palace is built of white local limestone of high quality, most of which was from quarries on the island of Brac; tuffa taken from the nearby river beds; and brick made in Salonitan and other workshops. Some material for decoration was imported: Egyptian granite columns and sphinxes, fine marble for revetments and some capitals produced in workshops in the Proconnesos.
Water for the palace came from the Jadro river near Salona. Along the road from Split to Salona impressive remains of the original aqueduct can still be seen. They were extensively restored in the nineteenth century.

With all respect, I think that you meen Diokletian palace which is in Split, not in Dubrovnik. The Diocletian palace in Split is romanic core of town so it is never closed. With all regards. Nataša Čagalj
