32 Old Window along Eastern Wall in Split, Croatia

When Diocletian’s Palace was built at the turn of the 4th century, there were no windows on the first floor of the fortified walls which reach a height of 70 feet. This was for protective reasons but also because the Adriatic Sea flowed directly along the southern wall. In addition, much of the palace’s first level was flooded so the emperor could take his boat directly from his residence. Today people live within the walls of the original palace.
