Peristyle (Peristil) - Le Péristyle Peristyle, as the central square of the Palace, intended for the Emperor Diocletian celebrated as the living son of Jupiter, finds its place among many temples. The Emperor would appear under the architrave of the central part of Protyron, and his subjects would approach him, kneeling down, kissing the hem of his scarlet cloak, or they would fall in front of him, their entire body to the ground. The red colour of the granite columns emphasises the ceremonial function. Namely, ever since the Emperor Diocletian the colour purple became the imperial colour. With the construction of a new city square with the town hall (Pjaca) in the 13th/14th century, Peristyle became a religious centre. Today it boarders from the West with Palaces of Split noble families Grisogono, Cipci and Skočibušić, as they lean on its authentic columns and arches. With their Renaissance and Gothic architecture they themselves became monuments. Owing to its unique beauty and unusual acoustics, Peistyle became the ideal theatre scenery, perfect for opera classics and works of ancient literature, but also the stage where abundant urban life continues. Having your coffee on the steps circling Peristyle is a unique experience, one of the closest touches of a modern man with the ancient heritage, not only Roman, but also Egyptian, as the Peristyle is closely watched over by a 3500 old and perfectly preserved sphinx, the witness of Split's history in making. This is why John Paul the II in amazement said " Dear God, how many feet have stepped through here", and this is why citizens of Split think of Peristyle as the centre of Split and the entire world. Le Péristyle comme place centrale du Palais, situé dans la partie réservée au culte et aux temples, était destiné à l’empereur Dioclétien, vénéré comme le fils vivant de Jupiter. L’empereur apparaissait sous l’arc de l’architrave au centre du Potiron, alors que ses sujets prosternés, baisaient la basque de sa cape pourpre. La couleur rouge des colonnes en granit accentuait la fonction cérémoniale et protocolaire du site. En effet, depuis Dioclétien le pourpre devient la couleur impérial. Avec la construction de la nouvelle place de la ville (la Piazza) au XIIIe/XIVe s., le Péristyle devient le centre religieux de la cité. Aujourd’hui, son côté occidental est bouché par les demeures patriciennes des familles Grisogono, Cipci et Skočibučić, édifices s’appuyant aux colonnes et aux arcs d’origine. Par leurs styles de construction gothique et Renaissance, ces bâtiments sont devenus eux-mêmes des monuments. Grâce à sa beauté et une acoustique exceptionnelle, le Péristyle est devenu une scène de théâtre idéale, comme si cet espace avait été conçu pour des opéras et des pièces de la littérature antique, mais aussi comme scène où se déroule une très riche vie urbaine. Consommer une boisson, un café sur les marches entourant le Péristyle est une expérience unique, un des plus proches contacts de l’homme moderne avec son patrimoine antique, non seulement romain, mais aussi égyptien, sur le Péristyle veille un sphinx admirablement bien conservé et vieux de 3.500 ans, ce témoin de l’histoire et du passé de Split. Pour toutes ces raisons, lors de sa venue à Split, le Pape Jean-Paul II à cet endroit, émerveillé, prononça cette phrase : » Mon Dieu, combien de pieds ont marché ici », et c’est aussi pourquoi les Splitois considèrent le Péristyle comme le centre de leur ville et du monde entier.

A famous part of history and architecture. Lovely place to sit and have a drink while enjoying the old city vibes.

Peristil is Split's main square, the former entry hall in Diocletian's Palace. There are six columns on both the east and west sides, and four more at the south end, which mark the monumental entrance to the Vestibul. The Vestibul is a cavernous open dome above the ground floor passageway; a foyer that leads you into the emperor's residential quarters. The Vestibul provides great acoustics allowing "klapa" bands to perform traditional a capella songs there in the mornings. St. Dominus Cathedral is on Peristil, and from Peristil you should take the stairs to Podrumi (The Diocletian Palace Substructures) - also Game of Thrones filming location.

At the south side of Peristil (entrance to Vestibul) you can see Prothyron. Prothyron is the grand arched entry to the Emperors living quarters with ceremonial loggia under the central arch where Diocletian was viewed and worshiped as a cult deity.

The very center of Diocletians palace, Peristil square radiates with history from its every square meter...Can you imagine that all of those huge Corinthian pillars were brought straight from the Egypt and are not all made from the same type of stone? Sphinx brought from Egypt is also there. Pillars are wonderful and well preserved, this is really an "must see" location in Split.
