Riva in Split is a beautiful promenade that buzzes with posh cafes and restaurants. However, this promenade has a history that lends it a beautiful charm. Developed two centuries ago by the French reign in Split, this place became the centre of events and cultural life of the city. Till today it enjoys the same status. What makes this place an interesting one to visit is its stunning location: it has the south facade of the Diocletian Palace and is surrounded by buildings that were built west of the Palace. Other attractions within reach from here are: the Franciscan monastery with the church of St. Francis, the Bajamonti Deskovic Palace and the Port Authorities building on the east end. And the cherry on the cake is that it faces the sea that renders it a gorgeous look. A visit here is an absolute must during your visit to Split!
