About this audio guide
This guide to the Vestibule, the domed entrance hall of Diocletian's Palace in Split, traces its arc from an imperial reception room for ambassadors to a sixteenth century ruin described by the writer Marko Marulic, and on to its present life as a stage for Dalmatian Klapa singers and a Game of Thrones filming location. You will hear how one open oculus has framed very different scenes across seventeen centuries.
