Water in history of the city of Split
Diocletian was the Roman emperor who built the palace in the 3rd century which was the foundation of Split.
Diocletian palace
They needed water but the
river Jadro was 9 km away.
They built an aqueduct to supply the palace with water.
The Romans used water for public baths because they didn’t have the bathrooms at home.
When people built their own bathrooms the public baths were used for recreation, meeting people
and fun. Like the swimming pools nowadays.
They used water to make the palace beautiful with fountains.
