The Split Bell Tower, or campanile, stands 60m high next to Split Cathedral in the heart of the remains of Diocletian's Palace. While the cathedral, built as a mausoleum for Emperor Diocletian, dates from the early 4th century, the bell tower was built in 1100. Originally it was adorned with Romanesque statues, but most of these were removed during renovations in the early 20th century.
Today, the bell tower is a popular tourist attraction in Split, with great views over the surrounding city, harbour and countryside from the top through eight portals. The climb up is steep, and narrow in the lower sections. Part way up visitors pass the bells, that still chime regularly. Entrance fees apply, separate to the entrance fee to visit the cathedral.
