A PORTION OF A ROMAN EMPEROR'S PALACE FORMS SPLIT'S TOWN SQUARE
This was the center and most beautiful part of Diocletian's palace (see also Color Plate III). Motley little shops and houses cling like parasites to
the blackened columns of cipollino and rose-colored granite on the right. The columns on the left front the emperor's mausoleum, now the Cathedral.
The four rear columns belong to what was formerly the Vestibule, at the entrance to the imperial apartments.

It serves as cradle for the baby, a wardrobe for clothes, a larder for provisions, and as transportation for little pigs market-bound. Many peasants like these of the Breno Valley, near Dubrovnik, came to America as immigrants before the World War.

RAGUSA MILITANT CONJURES UP A DRAMATIC PAST

Rock-set, rampart-encircled, sea-washed old Ragusa, now known as Dubrovnik, is so richly medieval that the beholder cannot separate it from the name under which it achieved its glories as a powerful city republic, worthy companion of Venice and Genoa in the fourteenth century.

Behind the jumble of masts and rigging are the remnants of Diocletian's open gallery, with shabby houses wedged in between majestic half-columns and arches.
