Cellars of Diocletian's Palace, Roman underground chambers in Split, Croatia
The cellars extend beneath the southern section of Diocletian's Palace, forming a network of halls and corridors that mirror the imperial chambers above.
Built between 295 and 305 CE, these substructures supported Emperor Diocletian's residential quarters and served as storage spaces for the palace.
The underground halls host art exhibitions, theater performances, and traditional craft fairs, connecting ancient architecture with modern cultural activities.
Visitors can enter the cellars through two main access points: the Porta Aenea from the Riva waterfront or the staircase from the Peristyle.
The preservation of these basement halls allows archaeologists to reconstruct the exact layout of the imperial apartments that once existed above them.
