It lies on eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, surrounded by little seaside villages and has over 200,000 inhabitants. It offers a wealth of Roman ruins ( such as Diocletian's Palace, an UNESCO World Heritage Site) and museums such as the Town Museum, where you can find out more about the history of Split (you’ll find a variety coats of arms, weapons, furniture, coins and documents) or the Archaeological Museum( Croatia’s oldest museum)which offers fascinating arte facts from the Roman and early Christian period.Split also offers a number of beaches: The sandiest, busiest and the youngest beach is Bacvice Beach. Calmer, and maybe prettier (although a bit narrow and rocky) than Bacvice Beach is Kasjuni beach (at the foot of Marjan hill).
