    • Favorite Thing: As an ex-Angelino, I find it interesting that Split and Los Angeles are sister cities. Sisters usually have some similarities - maybe there are some here....

    Split was built right on a harbor.
    Los Angeles originally wasn't on a harbor, but city boundaries were later extended to include the San Pedro Harbor.

    Split is really old.
    Los Angeles is, well, sort of old, if you consider 200 years old.

    Split is at 43 degrees north latitude
    Los Angeles is at 34 degrees north latitude.
    Same numbers, just inverted

    Diocletian retired to Split in 305 A.D.
    Ronald Reagan retired to Bel Aire, an exclusive enclave in Los Angeles in the 1990s A.D.

    Sounds like sisters to me.

    • Fondest Memory: If anybody says there are sunsets more beautiful than those on the Dalmatian coast, I may tell them they are crazy. This picture was taken near Split on a balmy September evening.

     Excellent Split page! The Bell Tower, Mestrovic Gallery and Diocletian's Palace look amazing! We hope to visit the city of Split one day. ~ho & pang    		BillNJ Sat May 3, 2008 18:11 UTC
     Great tips and photos. Split looks wonderful - can understand why Diocletion settled there. Also, the palacinkas sound delicious. Thanks for the recipe! Best from NJ, Bill
