Then came the town of Spalathum. In translation into Russian this name means "palace". Why later this settlement was called Split? So far, there is no data on this.

This city saw different times: both good and bad. Many bloody wars took place near these places. And, as is known from history, Split was also part of Austria, and part of France, and occupied by Italians. And during the Great Patriotic War on these lands the Germans were in charge.

Only in 1944, when the city was finally liberated, it became part of Croatia in the SFRY.

After a time 20 kilometers from Split, an airport was built. Croatia has several celestial berths, and this is rightfully considered the second largest of them by passenger traffic.
