Temple of Jupiter, Split, Roman temple in Diocletian's Palace, Split, Croatia
The Temple of Jupiter features an original barrel-vaulted ceiling with stone carvings depicting gods and heroes on its decorated doorways and interior walls.
Built between 295 and 305 AD as part of Diocletian's Palace complex, the temple transformed into a Christian baptistery during the 6th century.
The temple's decorative elements and architectural style influenced the development of Renaissance art throughout the Dalmatian region during the 15th century.
Visitors can access the temple through the western part of Diocletian's Palace near the Peristyle square, where an admission fee applies.
A black granite sphinx from Egypt stands at the entrance, while inside, a baptismal font crafted from 11th-century altar screen pieces displays an early Medieval king.
