Filming location of "Game of Thrones": Diocletian’s Palace

Apart from Dubrovnik, a “site of pilgrimage” for fans of the Game of Thrones, the Diocletian’s Palace in the city of Split is also a prominent filming location of the television drama. It is where you can have a glimpse of the daily life of an emperor in the old days as well.

This ancient palace, which is located at the shore of the Adriatic Sea, was the retirement residence of the Roman emperor Diocletian. Boasting a fabulous seaview, it is indeed an excellent place for an emperor to look back at his heyday. Unfortunately, the palace suffered from huge damage during the invasion of the Pannonian Avars. In 1979, it was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The remains of the palace are still the historical core of Split today.
