Diocletian’s palace is an integral part of Split’s downtown. You can visit it without paying entrance fees and most likely, if you ever wander through Split’s downtown you will have visited some buildings constructed during Diocletian’s time.

If you want to visit the excavated remains of the basement, then you will need to pay a ticket. The basement hall for instance was the entrance to the palace from the sea.
