A little background

The history of the birth of this place goes back many centuries. It is believed that the city appeared long before our era. At first it was the Greek colony of Aspalatos. Then the city of Spalatum arose here. Translated into Russian, this name means "palace". Why after a while this settlement was called Split? There is still no data on this.

This city has seen different times: both good and bad. Many bloody wars took placenear these places. And, as is known from history, Split was both part of Austria and part of France, and was occupied by the Italians. And during the Great Patriotic War, the Germans ruled these lands.

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

After a while, an airport was built 20 kilometers from Split. Croatia has several sky piers, and this one is rightfully considered the second largest of them in terms of passenger traffic.
