Bronze Gate, Roman city gate in Split, Croatia
The Bronze Gate, known as Porta Meridionalis, stands as the smallest of four entrances into the ancient core of Diocletian's Palace without decorative elements.
Originally constructed in the fourth century, this entrance provided direct sea access for Emperor Diocletian to enter the palace complex by boat.
The gate represents a transition point between different architectural periods, connecting the Roman heritage with medieval modifications in Split's development.
Visitors enter through this gate from the waterfront promenade to reach the cathedral and other sections within the UNESCO-listed palace complex.
During medieval times, this entrance functioned as a security gate, with the sea directly reaching the palace walls before the construction of the promenade.
