About this audio guide
This guide to Diocletian's Cellars in Split centers on the Roman emperor who built these vaulted storage halls beneath his own retirement apartments in the early fourth century, and the ancient stone press still standing in one hall today. You'll hear the line historians recorded when old allies begged him back to power, and how these halls later vanished under centuries of the town's own rubbish. Best heard standing right beside the old press near the entrance.
