Archaeological Museum in Split
If you visit only one museum in Split, make sure it is this one!
Founded in 1820, the Archaeological Museum in Split is the oldest museum in Croatia and home to more than 150,000 artefacts that reveal the rich history of Dalmatia.
For a limited time, the museum is hosting a series of large-scale monumental exhibitions, bringing rarely displayed objects from its vast collections into the spotlight. The permanent indoor display has temporarily stepped aside to make room for these impressive thematic exhibitions, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience extraordinary artefacts that are not usually on display.
The museum itself is a destination worth visiting. Located in the wider city centre, just a 10-minute walk from Diocletian’s Palace, the historic building is surrounded by a beautiful lapidarium and peaceful garden, filled with ancient stone monuments, inscriptions and sculptures. It is the perfect place to pause, breathe and escape the crowds of the old town while still immersing yourself in the story of Split.
Walking through the museum grounds, visitors encounter centuries of history carved in stone. Together with the nearby archaeological site of Salona, managed by the museum, the experience offers a deeper understanding of the origins of the city and the wider region.
The Archaeological Museum in Split is more than a museum visit. It is the key to understanding the cultural identity of this region.

Salona Archaeological Site
Before Split, there was Salona.
Just a few kilometres from the city centre lie the impressive remains of Salona, the ancient capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and one of the largest cities on the eastern Adriatic over 2,000 years ago.
Today, visitors can walk through the ruins of a once thriving city, past the amphitheatre, basilicas, city walls and early Christian cemeteries and experience the place where the story of Split truly begins. Scan the QR codes across the site and watch as augmented reality reconstructions bring ancient Salona back to life.
Surrounded by open landscapes, Salona is also a perfect photo spot and a beautiful escape from the crowds of the old town. A visit here is not just a trip to archaeological ruins. It is a chance to discover the true origins of the city and the spirit of Dalmatia.
