    Cathedral of St Dominus Bell Tower

    June 26, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

    This was built to be Diocletian's mausoleum. However, he was not buried here and it was turned into a church.

    "It is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date (though the bell tower dates from the 12th century). The structure itself, built in AD 305 as the Mausoleum of Diocletian, is the second oldest structure used by any Christian Cathedral."

    The bell tower is more modern and the views are lovely! You can make out the old walls of the palace.

    The stairs up are a little freaky. The lower marble ones are the highest stairs I've seen, and then the metal stairs and platform are full of holes!
