Split

Split, in Croatia, is a charming city that offers many tourist attractions. It is located on the Adriatic and is known for its beautiful old town, which is an excellent place for walks and sightseeing.

One of the most important monuments is Diocletian's Palace, which is partly inhabited and partly open to visitors. The palace is an excellent example of Roman architecture and consists of many beautiful courtyards, columns, and fountains.

Another must-see in Split is the Cathedral of St. Domnius, which was built on the ruins of an ancient palace and is one of the most important Christian monuments in Croatia. Many shops and restaurants offer local specialties, such as seafood, wine, and cheeses.

Split is also an ideal place for beach-going, and the best beaches are on the island of Brač, which is a few minutes from the city by ferry. Many tours offer boat trips to the nearby islands and coves.

A trip to Split is not only an opportunity to sightsee but also to relax on the beach and experience the beautiful Adriatic coast. This place will certainly leave a lasting impression and inspire you to return.

I paired each photograph of the current state of these places with an alternative version — created using artificial intelligence. It's a visualization of how they might have looked in their heyday.

Plitvice Lakes

Croatia is a country full of surprises, but none of the guidebooks I read prepared me for what I experienced at Plitvice Lakes National Park. It felt like discovering a completely new world — one that seemed too beautiful to be real.

In the Labyrinth of Zadar's Alleyways.

Zadar, located on the Adriatic, is a place where history intertwines with everyday life, and its old streets and stone buildings, though weathered by time, exude an incredible charm. I like to think these places have a soul — a little worn, but full of stories.

Gate to the city of Zadar

From afar you can already see that this is no ordinary city gate. Monumental, built of light-colored stone, adorned with columns and numerous details. Above the main archway proudly stands the winged lion of St. Mark – the symbol of Venetian power that ruled Zadar for centuries.
