The Diocletian's Palace became over centuries not just home to local citizens, but also to a vibrant Jewish community who first settled in this area in the ancient times. This is the feature thanks to which this Roman monument stands out among some many others as, apart from being so well preserved, it is a hodgepodge of every possible historic and architectural style with different cultural influences. Thus vestiges of medieval Jewish worshipers can be found incised into the walls of the substructure of the Roman palace, whereas the Aron Hakodesh is built into its western wall. The whole Jewish ghetto was situated within the perimeter of the original palace. The synagogue is the third oldest Jewish temple in Europe still serving a small, but active local Jewish community. Here I will introduce you to my dear friend Albert who is the shamash. He will share with you his personal narratives. The Jewish cemetery lies on the slope on the Marjan hill and occupies one of the most beautiful spots in town.
The tour can be customized to your needs, interests, activity level and time that you have at your disposal. Here you will find a general overview: - Diocletian's Palace with the Substructure where menorahs are carved into the walls - Mausoleum of the Emperor (now Cathedral), Temple of Jupiter - main Roman square Peristyle Then we will explore the rest of the medieval and modern town which is nested within the original Roman palace: - Golden Gate with the Statue of Gregory of Nin - Pjaca square - Fruit square - Jewish Ghetto with the Synagogue (Note: the synagogue closes on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Most of the time, however, I can arrange for it to be opened. ) At the end we will take a 15-minute walk up the Marjan hill where you can visit the old Jewish cemetery from 1573. As it is a longer tour, a coffee/snack break can be taken at any point of the tour.

This is a walking tour, but for people with walking issues, a vehicle can be arranged at extra cost, but only for the transfer to the Jewish cemetery. Should you wish to do so, please make a special mention so that I can make the necessary arrangements.
