Before visiting Diocletian's Palace, this model provides a good overview of how it was laid out in 305 and where, for example, the palace gates are located today. The south gate (brass/bronze gate) served as access to the harbor, which was built directly on the south facade. The corners, modeled after Roman forts, are defended by four strong square towers, three of which are well preserved. The three land gates were each protected by two octagonal towers (possibly similar to the polygonal towers at the main gate of Salona). The main entrance to the palace was the north gate, which has become known as the Golden Gate (Porta Aurea). At the time of the palace's construction, this gate was the main exit to the mainland road to Salona, thus connecting the palace to the rest of the world. Above the upper cornice above the north gate, four stone pedestals now stand; originally, there were probably five. Although we cannot be certain, there is an analogy with the statuary group on the main tribune of the Forum in Rome. It is assumed that these were the imperial tetrarchs, sculptures of the emperors Diocletian and Maximian in the center, and on the sides, the Caesars of the eastern and western parts of the empire. In the center, in honor of Diocletian's divine father, Jupiter, was placed, his image. The western gate, the so-called Iron Gate (Porta Ferrea), is the best preserved interior, while the eastern gate, the so-called Silver Gate (Porta Argentea), was walled up and partially demolished in the late Middle Ages and has only recently been rebuilt. Some historians claim that the names Golden, Silver, and Iron Gates date back no further than 1553.

This is not the location of the Golden Gate.

Great promenade that has lost none of its charm over the years - just as beautiful as it was 30 years ago 🥰
