Game of Thrones. Is anyone a fan? Today I got to visit a location where scenes from Game of Thrones Series 5 were filmed.
But first, it was a rainy old day for site seeing so the umbrella went up and the shoes got saturated while checking out Trogir. Trogir is another town in the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) World Cultural Heritage List built on site of the ancient Greek settlement Tragurion. Even that sounds a bit 'Games of Throne'y but it's not here where some scenes from Game of Thrones was filmed.
Trogir is another harbour on the Adriatic coast where pictures don't quite cut it.

Split is the biggest city and port in Dalmatia and was built around 1700 years ago. It is also home to Diocletian's Palace which is from the 4th century. This palace is basically Diocletian's retirement home and he abdicated the throne of the Roman empire to live here in 305 AD. The palace included is private apartment but also included housing for the military garrison. HIs apartment was at the water end so he could make a quick exit by ship if needed.
The palace also had 3 sets built within it's structures for filming of Game of Thrones Series 5. One of which is the home of Khaleesi and her dragons.
