Split y Klis, Meereen en Juego de Tronos | CROACIA #2

Well it's a new day and we're already here in Split during the day And nothing else I'm going to show you the part of the fortification that I couldn't show you well yesterday because it was nighttime and everything was closed Today I will be able to start entering the sites Split most characteristic is a closed courtyard where Emperor Diocletian's palace was built when the Romans conquered this part of Croatia Then it was the whole city and in the middle like a very large square where everything went They were the temples the cathedral the tombs where the emperor lived etc Then all of that was walled in Then here we are behind me is the wall which has a few entrances It has three gates to the city called the Iron Gate the Golden Gate and the Silver Gate Here we have one of them What's really cool about Split is that during the day it's filled with markets Now this part that's here is still being set up Well this is more aimed at tourists because it's right in the central area It even has little flags of the countries and stuff But a bit away from the entrance there was a large market for fruits and vegetables Yes every day that is today is Wednesday it's not any special day of the week and that's how they're setting it up Here is the first kitten of the day And nothing else this is the inner part of the city You have seen how easily I have entered This would not have been so easy a few centuries ago Here is another entrance located to the north of the city which is the Golden Gate Well here we are in the central square of the Diocletian Palace called the Peristyle Square And from here is the Cathedral of Saint Duille which is what crowns the entire interior Since the Cathedral San Duille's is from the 4th century it makes it one of the oldest Catholic cathedrals in the world The most distinctive feature is that there is a sphinx here at the entrance and two types of dragons There are very good views from the bell tower So let's try to go up and see the city views from there Well we started putting things here on the narrow and steep path Oh if I didn't have enough with yesterday's minaret now I have to climb this bell tower Here another floor up and that's the bell section Interestingly inside a bell tower who would have thought but I'm catching my breath He's really cool there's like the biggest bell here and then another bell system here That is there are a lot of bells The roads are quite narrow for passing I haven't had breakfast yet it's 8 in the morning and it shows Well I've already climbed all the way up and the truth is from here the views are amazing That is you can see the entire city of Split There the entire walled area And then one of the entries Oh look at the sea Then one of the entrances is through the underground passage of Diocletian's palace which is this one here Here and that would be the iron gate Then would be the silver gate which is the one I entered through at the beginning which is there And then the golden door which I mentioned earlier was to the north that's over there The views from up here are really cool I'll leave you some pictures now I'm coming in March because it's the low season and it's also good to see the 8 because there's no one there Oh it's the typical bell tower that would be full of people because the climb is super cheap And now I have the luck to be alone That's great By the way if you want to go up and you're in a wheelchair you have to get into the child's cart or whatever which is complicated Oh here there's nothing but stairs and more stairs and very narrow ones Okay now let's go into what was the basement of Diocletian's palace It is also used as one of the underground entrances but it was even used before to collect garbage And indeed it was full of garbage and they emptied it not too long ago We are in Diocletian's basement which is the tourist attraction so you need to buy a ticket Yes I'm alone no one else It's amazing There are no tourists today And then this basement was initially used when the palace was built to level the different parts of the fortified city that had been constructed Because the northern part and the southern part were uneven But later it was given other uses and in fact the servants used to come here and it was also used for storage After that what I mentioned happened centuries later when the Roman Empire had already fallen and this became part of the citizens of Croatia It was used to hold garbage they used it as drains and here it got filled with garbage And even just a few centuries ago when they cleaned it What makes this basement special is that it is the only part of the entire fortified city that remains as it was built Well obviously the lights weren't on but I mean the architecture and all the structures haven't been damaged Just like the rest of the city which was destroyed in wars and everything has been rebuilt Here are unique pieces such as this wood from 300 B C used in the construction of the basement In fact excavations at this site did not begin until 1950 so it has remained quite well preserved And actually there are leaks and mold on the walls It's really cool And the best thing is to be silent for there is no one and to listen to the dripping It's funny because it says the eastern gate in the 18th century and this photo accompanies it It's becoming hard to see the 18th century cameras in photos isn't it Here I say goodbye to Split a city that has pleasantly surprised me I have really liked it It's true that it doesn't have meaning that on a daily basis it looks very good because the main thing is the Diocletian Palace Then the walk is also very nice but it doesn't take more than a day I spent last night and this morning on it and it's already 10 o'clock and I've seen almost everything So nothing else I highly recommend visiting Split if you're coming to Croatia it's worth it These dates are also very good which is why no one is there Then in summer I imagine it will get quite busy with cruises and such but the truth is I've been very comfortable And we continue the journey so let's head to the next destination Well I'm back at Fort Clis or Clis Castle which is where I came yesterday afternoon but it was already closed Because it closed very early at 4:30 so nothing let's see if I have more luck now No one is visible from the car I haven't seen anyone but anyway since there aren't many tourists it doesn't surprise me too much So let's see if it's open Well we're here in Clis the Fortress which is quite ruined meaning basically just the walls remain as you can see But it's really cool because it's at the top of the mountain and the views are amazing plus yes the remaining ruins are very beautiful El Fuerte de Clis is just 15 kilometers away north of Split so if you're coming to Split it's definitely worth visiting because it's amazing And plus it's peaceful to go to Tubola even in summer I think not many people come as I've read there are about 15 000 visitors a year so it's really low There are also tours available here that cover the area's Game of Thrones locations showing some of the scenes filmed here Well documented there were two girls around and one was explaining and she was doing it quite well Wow that's cool there's a small booth inside the castle with some pictures including one of Game of Thrones and a dragon He is very fat They caught me taking the hotel towels so here I am I don't know if they'll let me go but anyway I'm saying goodbye now and if by luck they don't behead me then see you at the next destination Until now
