The Golden Gate to Split was built in the 4th century as the main entrance to Diocletian's Palace and has remained very well preserved to this day. At first they were called Porto septemtrionalis, and later they were called Port Aurea. The gates were very richly decorated, originally located between two towers, which with four other towers defended the northern approaches to the city. It is interesting that there is a church under the Golden Gate. It is the church of St. Martin, built in the corridor for the guards, probably in the 6th century.
