3 Hidden Gems in Split Most People Walk Right Past
3 landmarks with verified facts and stories
Froggyland Museum
5 Kralja Tomislava, Grad, Split, 21000, Croatia
Froggyland is Split's most bizarre museum — 507 taxidermied frogs posed in 21 elaborate dioramas depicting human scenes (a classroom, a gym, a dentist's office, a village festival) that were created over a decade between 1910 and 1920 by Hungarian taxidermist Ferenc Mere.
Salona Archaeological Site
Solin, Croatia
Salona was the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia — a city of 60,000 people that was the largest urban centre on the eastern Adriatic and the birthplace of Emperor Diocletian (who retired to his palace in nearby Split after abdicating in 305 AD).
Varos Neighbourhood
Varoš, Split, Croatia
Varoš is Split's oldest neighbourhood outside the Roman palace — a hillside tangle of narrow alleys, stone houses, and tiny piazzas that grew up in the 7th century when refugees from the sacked Roman city of Salona settled around the palace walls.
