It is located in front of the Church of St Donatus and the Archbishop's Palace. This is the largest Roman forumon the eastern side of the Adriatic, and also the best preserved in Croatia. It was founded by Emperor Augustus, mentioned in an inscription as Parens coloniae. It represents a highly developed example of a forum complex, and is one of the most important among the ancient Adriatic towns. An inscription bearing the name of Augustus's proconsul for Illyricum, Tamphilus Vala, carved on the Forum's well, testifies that construction of the complex began as early as the second decade of the 1st century BC, with its final appearance achieved through reconstruction in the 3rd century AD.
Salona is known as the centre of ancient Dalmatia, and is located about 6 km from Split, in present-day Solin. As the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia, Salona was originally a port of the Illyrian Delmatae, which the Romans conquered towards the end of the 2nd century BC. You can find out more interesting details if you read the guide, or if you visit Solin.
The first hilltop settlement in the area of present-day Pula arose 3000 years ago. Historical records mention the town of Pula as early as the 1st century BC. Under Roman rule, Pula experienced great growth. Pula is the largest and most significant town of Istria in antiquity, founded in 46–45 BC, during the dictatorship of Caesar, on the site of an older Histrian hilltop settlement.
The Roman writer Pliny mentions Pula in the 1st century under the name Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola, while an inscription from the 2nd/3rd century calls Pula Colonia Iulia Pola Pollentia Herculanea. The town's patron was Hercules. The town could house 4000–5000 inhabitants, while the surrounding area consisted of rich agricultural estates. Today Pula is a vibrant modern town, the largest in Istria County, with a metropolitan area and more than 100,000 inhabitants.
The historic core of Trogir has been part of the UNESCO list of cultural heritage since 1977, and is located on a small island between the mainland and the island of Čiovo. Trogir was founded by Greek colonists, traders from the island of Vis, in the 3rd century BC, and is an extraordinary example of urban continuity. The orthogonal layout of its streets dates back to the Hellenistic period, and successive rulers continued to adorn it with outstanding public and residential buildings and fortifications. The most significant building in Trogir is the cathedral with the portal of the west doors, a masterpiece by the master Radovan, the most important example of Romanesque-Gothic art in Croatia. In Trogir's historic core, within houses near the cathedral and the town loggia, the first pharmacy in Europe was opened in 1271.
