Salona was an ancient city and capital of Dalmatae in the time of the Roman empire. Dalmatae is modern day Dalmatia, part of Croatia, and Salona is modern day Solin. Colonia Martia Iulia Salona (full name of the ancient city) was founded after the Roman civil wars under Julius Caesar, but it's roots date back in the time of the Greeks. In the time of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, he built a palace nearby, this structure, known as Diocletian's Palace, became the core of the modern city of Split. Salona was destroyed in the invasions of the Avars and Slavs in the sixth and seventh centuries CE. Today only shells remain of this ancient city and they are in order of appearance: Amphitheatre, Basilica of the Five Martyrs, Theatre & Forum, Five Bridges, Episcopal center & city baths and Manastirine.
