42 Split only became the capital of Dalmatia after World War I, when the former capital city of Zadar came under temporary Italian rule. The centre of Dalmatia in the Antique Period was Salona, whose ruins are located near the city of Split, in today's Solin. THE ANTIQUE SALONA was a metropolis of the great Roman province of Dalmatia, which then spread across an area on the east coast of the Adriatic and was greater than the whole of Croatia today. The extensive ruins of Salona speak of its importance (42), which often surprises visitors (37) with respect to its location in the mainly industrial suburb of Split. Sometimes you can see the whole layout of individual buildings (30) and preserved Roman arches of the former palace (35), but most of the findings from Salona are stored in the most valuable museum of Split - the Archaeological Museum, the oldest Croatian Museum, founded in 1820. The building of the museum boasts an interesting atrium (40), and a nicely decorated interior (36), with about 150 000 different exhibits. Apart from the sites of Salona and other Roman sites, there are many objects from ancient Greece (33) and the early medieval period. Among the exhibits is the collection of antique sarcophagi (31 & 34), stone plastic (32 & 38), antique clay lamps and Roman glass (29 & 41), bone and metal objects (39) and precious stones. Along the coast of the Kaštela Gulf, where the Antique Salona and Split are, is another great pearl of Croatian cultural heritage which is protected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO – THE HISTORIC CITY OF TROGIR. Located on a small island between the mainland and the island of Čiovo, which it is connected to by bridges, the city has kept its appearance almost unchanged since the Middle Ages (43). Trogir is particular for the continuity of its existence since Ancient Greek times, and there we can find, one next to another, monuments from the Hellenistic period, Ancient Rome, the early Middle Ages and late Middle Ages. The most important cultural monument in Trogir is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, built from the 13th to the 15th century. It is known for its impressive Romanesque portal, which was sculpted by perhaps the best, as the inscription says, master sculptor, Radovan (47), and for the altar with a monumental ciborium (54). The chapel of Blessed John Ursinij was built in the northern nave of the church in the 15th century (49) and its magnificent sculptures on the walls and ceiling (57) are considered to be the apex of Renaissance architecture and sculpture in Dalmatia, in which Nikola Firentinac, Andrija Aleši and Ivan Duknović have left their work. Next to the cathedral is the City Lodge from the 15th century (56), and from the same time originates the tower Kamerlengo (55) at the west end of town, which is sung about in many melodious Trogiran songs. The largest part of the findings from the rich history of Trogir is contained in the Museum of Trogir, in the Palace Garagnin - Fanfogna. The museum treasures valuable paintings (45 & 46) and sculptures (52), and has a richly equipped library (44). The 11th century female Benedictine Monastery of Saint Nicholas (50) also holds a valuable collection. 101
