Radunica

Über Radunica

Radunica is a historic residential quarter in Split, Croatia, situated east of Diocletian's Palace. This working-class neighbourhood preserves traditional Dalmatian urban fabric with narrow stone streets and compact houses. The area developed organically outside the palace walls, serving as housing for common people rather than nobility. Its unplanned medieval character contrasts with the imperial geometry of the adjacent palace. The quarter retains atmospheric authenticity amid Split's growing tourism economy. Visitors encounter everyday life rather than curated heritage presentation. A flexible visit lets travellers connect Radunica Quarter with the rest of the day without treating one room, viewpoint or photograph as the whole experience. The useful pace depends on personal interest and conditions on arrival.
