Venue

Split

Split is the largest city in Dalmatia and second largest city in Croatia which lies on the Adriatic coast, on the Split (Marjan) peninsula.

The history of Split is over-flowingly rich. Diocletian Palace and the entire historical core of Split have been on the World Heritage UNESCO list ever since 1979 for the extraordinary preservation of the Palace. A walk through the ancient city takes you through time, along the great examples of ancient architecture like Peristyle, the middle aged Romanesque Church and Gothic Palace, Renaissance portals of the noblemen’s houses, Baroque facades and modern architecture superbly merged in the rich heritage.

The cathedral was built in the Middle Ages, reusing materials from the ancient mausoleum. Twelfth and 13th-century Romanesque churches, medieval fortifications, 15th-century Gothic palaces and other palaces in renaissance and baroque style make up the rest of the protected area.

One of the most important symbols of the city is the Marjan hill which rises on the west side of the peninsula, in the immediate vicinity of the old city centre.

This conference will take place at the Radisson Blu Resort situated on a peaceful pebble beach about 3 km from the Split city centre, allowing guests to easily explore the city.
