|
The Cathedral of St Domnius (Katedral Sv. Duje), located within the original ancient area of the Palace of Diocletian, was originally Diocletian's mausoleum. Designed by Filotas and consecrated in the 7th century the Cathedral of St Domnius looks virtually the same today as it did when it was built. The only addition was a 60m / 197ft bell tower built in stages from the 12th to16th Centuries.
