Location Information:
Split
is the largest Dalmatian city, the
second-largest urban centre in
Croatia, and the seat of Split-Dalmatia
County. The city is located on the
shores of the Mediterranean, more
specifically on the eastern shore of
the Adriatic Sea, spreading over a
central peninsula and its
surroundings, with its metropolitan
area including the many surrounding
seaside towns as well. An
intraregional transport hub, the
city is a link to the numerous
surrounding Adriatic islands and the
Apennine peninsula, as well as a
popular tourist destination.
Split is also one of the oldest
cities in the area, and is
traditionally considered just over
1,700 years old, while
archaeological research relating to
the ancient Greek colony of
Aspálathos (6th century BC)
establishes the city as being
several hundred years older.
