Diocletian's Palace, Split
The Temple of Jupiter is a remarkably preserved Roman temple within Diocletian's Palace — a small, barrel-vaulted structure originally dedicated to the king of the Roman gods and later converted into a Christian baptistery (a transition that mirrors the palace's own transformation from pagan imperial compound to Christian city).
