DUE TO ITS UNIQUE COASTAL LOCATION AND EVIDENT ROMAN HERITAGE, SPLIT FEELS SEPARATE FROM CROATIA. SETTLED BY THE GREEKS OVER 2300 YEARS AGO, THEN RENEWED BY EMPEROR DIOCLETIAN IN THE LATE THIRD CENTURY WITH A MASSIVE PALACE AND AQUEDUCT SYSTEM, “SPALATUM’S” ITALIAN INFLUENCE CONTINUED WELL INTO THE 20TH CENTURY. THE RESULTANT ARCHITECTURE HAS DONE WELL FOR THE CITY REGARDING TOURISM AND THE OCCASIONAL FILM SETTING. LIKE DUBROVNIK, A FEW GAME OF THRONES EPISODES WERE FILMED HERE AND THERE ARE OF COURSE TOURS TO SEE WHERE EXACTLY. AND ON THESE TOURS, YOU WILL ASSUREDLY TRAIPSE OVER THIS COVER FROM METALAC FOUNDRY WITH ITS DIAMOND PATTERN SET AT A 10-DEGREE ROTATION. A NOD TO SPALATUM’S HERITAGE SITS AT ITS LIKELY PICKPOINT.
