About this audio guide
This guide to the Split City Museum starts with an accident: in December twenty twenty-three, crews cutting a lift shaft through the ground floor broke through into an ancient Roman bath, its floor still paved in white mosaic, hidden beneath a room historians had long assumed was something else. It follows archaeologist Nebojsa Cingeli as more of the bathhouse comes up, a furnace opening, cisterns, an old oil and grape press, all wedged where the accepted story said only soldiers and training grounds once stood. Stand today among the swords, coins and painted ceilings gathered by the Renaissance family who built their palace directly over it.
