The Diocletian's Trail in Omiš is a real treat for anyone who loves history and nature. Although it is named after the Roman emperor Diocletian, famous for his magnificent palace in Split, this trail is not only related to Split - it takes you through picturesque areas near Omiš, where history and nature intertwine at every turn. It is part of the Perun circular trail, with a total length of about 14.5 kilometers, which connects Split, Žrnovnica and Srinjine, and also covers parts of the Omiš hinterland. As you walk along this trail, you will be greeted by views of the mighty Omiš Dinara and the Adriatic Sea, as well as historical sites that hide traces of pirates and the medieval defense systems of Omiš. Interestingly, this is the area where the Omiš pirates once operated, known for their fortresses and cunning defense solutions, and some of these fortresses can still be seen along the trail today. In addition to natural beauty, the Diocletian's Trail offers the opportunity to experience a rich cultural heritage, outdoor recreation and historical stories that have shaped this region in one place. If you like exploring old fortifications and observing the remains of times gone by, this trail is ideal - along the way you can also discover lesser-known churches and the remains of medieval walls that are not always on tourist maps, but hide numerous interesting things for curious walkers. Another interesting fact: on parts of the trail you can find old Roman roads, which confirms how important this area was throughout history.
