Katedrala Sv. Duje

Među europskim katedralama splitska ima za sjedište najstariju građevinu - mauzolej rimskog cara Dioklecijana. U njoj, na koncu drugog milenija, povijest izmiruje pogansku antičku, kršćansku srednjovjekovnu i modernu baštinu. Mauzolej cara-progonitelja kršćana postaje sredinom 7. stoljeća katedralom u kojoj su na počasnim mjestima postavljeni oltari s relikvijama Svetog Dujma i Svetog Staša, mučenika pogubljenih u obližnjem Solinu. 

Splitska katedrala posvećena je Uznesenju Blažene Djevice Marije, narodu je poznata kao Katedrala sv. Dujma (sv. Duje). Katedrala je smještena u kompleksu Dioklecijanove palače u Splitu, na Peristilu i prvotno je bila carski mauzolej, sagrađen početkom 4. stoljeća. Katedrala sv. Duje najstarija je katedrala u svijetu.

Zvonik katedrale (57 m) je najizvornija dalmatinska srednjovjekovna građevina započeta u 13. stoljeću. Zvonik je na prijelazu iz 19. u 20. stoljeće temeljito obnovljen i ponešto izmijenjen. Danas se stepenicama moguće popeti na vrh zvonika, s kojega se pruža spektakularni pogled na cijeli Split.

Cathedral of Saint Domnius

The Cathedral of Saint Domnius (Croatian: Katedrala Svetog Duje), known locally as the Sveti Dujam or colloquially Sveti Duje, is situated in Split, Croatia. The cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Split-Makarska, headed by Archbishop Marin Barišić. The Cathedral of St. Domnius is a complex consisting of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, including a bell tower. The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, whereas the bell tower celebrates Saint Domnius. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Domnius.Saint Domnius , consecrated at the turn of the 7th century AD, is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date (though the bell tower dates from the 12th century). The structure itself, built in AD 305 as the Mausoleum of Diocletian, is the second oldest structure used by any Christian Cathedral.

The cathedral was named after Saint Domnius (Saint Dujam, or Saint Domnius) patron saint of Split, who was a 3rd-century Bishop of Salona. Salona was a large Roman city serving as capital of the Province of Dalmatia. Today it is located near the city of Solin in Croatia. Saint Domnius was martyred with seven other Christians in the persecutions of the Emperor Diocletian. He was born in Antioch, in modern-day Turkey, and beheaded in 304 at Salona.
