SOLIN  (SALONA)

At the time of the Roman Empire the Roman province Dalmatia consisted of the main town Salona, the summerpalace Split and the harbourtown Trogir. The archeological interesting remains of Salona are to be seen in the town Solin.  

At that time the Dalmation coastal area was covered with forest but many trees were used to build the Roman galleys. Salona was builded in a square with walls all around and some towers for defence. In the town were a cathedral and a monastery. Later on came bathhouses with thermal mineral water. The contours of the thermae are still  regocnizable as are the remains of the forum, the tempel and a theatre from the first century AC.
