Basilica urbana

This was Salona's main ecclesiastical centre. It was created next to the first Christian oratorium, located in a private house, so-called domus ecclesiae. It was in an area surrounded on the western side by town walls, in the east by a street leading to the small gates in the north town walls, and on the southern side by the street passing through the old town gate - Porta Caesarea.

Manastirine

The Christians followed Roman tradition and customs that the dead had to be buried outside towns. Manastirine, along with Kapljuc and Marusinac were private country lands for cemetaries. The reason was that in Salona, the first Christian cemeteries were created at the time of illegality, when Christianity had no right of preaching.

I am really glad we choose Croatia as a holiday destination. We visited all these historic sites and it was so enlightening. Even if you aren't into history it's worth a visit.

Town Baths

Besides the private baths in luxurious private homes and villas, in towns there were also public thermae - baths by Ancient Roman customs and traditions. The best preserved Salonitan thermae are in the so-called Peter's Street, to the east of the town basilicas (the Christian episcopal cemetery complex).

Amphitheater

Amphitheatre forms part of the town defence system and it could have accommodated about 15,000 spectators. It is located at the northwest end of Salona's town limits. Close to the amphitheatre, to its south, there was a cemetery for gladiators that have been killed in the arena. From their epitaphs you could know their names, origins, homelands and fighting specialities.

Town Gate - Porta Caesarea

The large gate, named picturesquely Porta Caesarea for its monumentality, was located in the eastern walls of the initial town, the Dyggve's urbs vetus. Both the gate and the walls next to it are evidently old. They could have been built at the beginning of the first century A.D., i.e. in the last years of August's rule.

Just like a read in one of the reviews, why not say it again - not a main attraction in city of Split, but on 'your day off', you should really come to this whole Roman complex - and it is a shame that excavations, archeology is not a non-stop operation there because to reveal the whole of Roman 'megapolis' on Eastern shores of Adriatic would make a hell of an attraction!

Salona is a must see for everyone interested in history. But, even if you dont have great history knowledge there are some good information signs and you can get a guidebook from the visitor's centre.
