The Substructures - Les Salles souterraines The Diocletian Palace Substructures represent one of the best preserved ancient complexes of their kind in the world, and hence are in many ways responsible for the reason the historical core of Split was in 1979 included on the UNESCO'S World Heritage list. In the Roman times, their function was to elevate the Emperor's chambers on the floor above, but they were also the storage area for the Palace. Being structurally a faithful replica of the chambers above, they enable a faithful reconstruction of the way the Emperor's chambers looked like. In the early Middle Ages a part of them was used as a residential area, and in one of the halls parts of an ancient oil and wine press (turnjačica) were found, remaining exhibited in the same spot to this day. With the residence construction within the Palace, the Substructures were turned into a waste pit for those households built above them. Cleaning of the Substructure's halls was conceived and commenced in the mid 19th century by an architect Vicko Andrić, the first Split and Croatian conservationist, and today they have been excavated and reconstructed to the sixties of the last century. Only the eastern part became open for the public relatively recently, in May 1995. The entrance to the halls of the Substructures today is through Porta Aenea, from the Riva, or down the stairs from the Peristyle. Today the Substructures are full of life. They regularly host painting and sculpture exhibitions, theatre plays, fairs like the International Flower Fair, gastronomic and oenological presentations, and many other social and cultural events. The central hall, representing the main communication line between the Riva and the Peristyle, is a place to buy valuable souvenirs, and the rest of the Substructures is open for sightseeing as one of the greatest attractions of Split, frequently, besides Peristyle, a synonym for Diocletian Palace. Les Salles souterraines Les salles souterraines du Palais de Dioclétien représentent un des ensembles antiques les mieux conservés de ce genre au monde et sont une des raisons de l’inscription du noyau historique de Split sur la liste du patrimoine mondiale de l’UNESCO en 1979. A l’époque romaine, leur fonction était de surélever les espaces des appartements impériaux à l’étage supérieur, servant aussi de dépôt pour le Palais. Comme par leur construction elles sont la fidèle copie des salles du dessus, elles nous permettent de concevoir d’imaginer fidèlement l’aspect des salles impériales. Au début du Moyen-Age, une de leur partie fut utilisée comme habitat, mais aussi de caves car dans l’une des salles on a découvert les éléments d’un pressoir à huile et vin, aujourd’hui exposé. Avec la construction de la ville à l’intérieur du Palais, ces salles de substructions ont servi comme un tout-à-l’égout et décharge pour les maisons du niveau supérieur. Un déblaiement de ces salles fut prévu par l’architecte Vicko Andrić, premier conservateur croate et splitois, qui fit débuter les premiers travaux au milieu du XIXe s. Ce que nous voyons aujourd’hui a été déblayé et reconstruit dans les années soixante du siècle dernier. La partie orientale n’est devenue accessible au public que relativement récemment, au mois de mai 1995. Aujourd’hui, dans ces salles, qui sont donc au rez-de-chaussée, on entre soit par la Porte de Bronze, sur le Quai ou bien par des marches descendantes du Péristyle. Les souterrains sont aujourd’hui encore une zone très animée de la ville. On y organise régulièrement des expositions des sculptures et peintures, on y joue des pièces de théâtre, on y organise des foires, telles que les Floralies - exposition internationale de fleurs, des événements gastronomiques et œnologiques, et bien d’autres manifestations culturelles et de vie sociale. La salle centrale, principale voie de communication entre le Quai et le Péristyle, est un lieu où l’on peut acheter d’intéressants souvenirs, alors que les autres salles de cet immense espace sont ouvertes à la visite comme l’un des plus intéressantes attractions de Split, souvent avec le Péristyle un des synonyme du Palais de Dioclétien.

Diocletian Palace is one of the best preserved monuments of the Roman architecture in the world located in Split town center. The basements and the main square are especially interesting to see.
