Split is the largest city in Dalmatia, the second largest city in Croatia (the wider metropolitan area has more than 200,000 inhabitants), Croatia's second largest port and third port on the Mediterranean by the number of passengers. It is the administrative center of Split-Dalmatia County and its catchment areas of the three southern Croatian counties (former municipalities Community Split), and part of Herzegovina and Bosnia. Lora in the harbor on the north side of the peninsula is the seat of the Croatian Navy. The city center makes the ancient Diocletian's palace 4.stoljeća (under UNESCO protection from the 1979th year), which is a unique example in the world.
