Golden Gate, Memorial gate in Diocletian's Palace, Split, Croatia.
The Golden Gate features double doors within a rectangular structure and displays niches that contained sculptures of four Roman tetrarchs on its facade.
Emperor Diocletian entered his palace through this northern gate, then called Porta Septemtrionalis, upon his return to Split on June 1st, 305 AD.
The sixth-century church of Saint Martin sits above the gate's outer section, while a large statue of Gregory of Nin stands near the entrance.
The gate opens toward Strossmayer's Park and leads through the Roman Cardo street to reach the central areas of the palace complex.
Venetian authorities renamed this entrance to Golden Gate in the 16th century, although the structure contains no actual gold materials.
