Join a local guide from Split on a walk through Diocletian's Palace, the retirement residence of the Roman Emperor Diocletian and the birthplace of the modern city. Discover how the Cold War, Yugoslavia, and the Yugoslav Wars shaped life in Croatia as it is today.

Learn the fascinating story of how the Croats lost their last native king, the legend of the "thousand-year curse," and how that story became intertwined with the bloody breakup of Yugoslavia.

Discover how both World War I and World War II transformed Split, from the once-poor neighborhoods within the palace walls to the city's social and political development.

Explore the history of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, the Cold War, and communism, and understand how they influenced Croatia's economy, society, and everyday life.
