Porta septemtrionalis njihov je rimski naziv. Kroz njih je car Dioklecijan kročio u Palaču 1. lipnja 305. godine. Građena su u obliku četverokuta, s dvostrukim vratima, kao dio obrambene vojne taktike (propugnaculum).

Pročelje je dekorirano nišama u kojima su figurirale skulpture četvorice tetrarha (Dioklecijan, Maksimijan, Galerije i Konstancije Klor). Ovim vratima, kroz koja je od Peristila, ulicom Cardo, put vodio direktno prema Saloni kao glavnom gradu rimske provincije Dalmacije, smio se koristiti samo car i članovi njihove obitelji. Danas su s obližnjim spomenikom biskupu Grguru Ninskom, radom velikog hrvatskog kipara Ivana Meštrovića, jedna od omiljenih splitskih turističkih točaka.

Pod utjecajem Venecije vrata u 16. st. mijenjaju naziv u Porta Aurea, ili Zlatna vrata, što se održalo sve do danas.

As a history teacher, i was delighted to learn the history of Porta Septemtrionalis who helped the Diocletian Emperor step into the palace. I was awed by the artwork of the golden gates which were built in the shape of quadrangle and double doors. It was super fun biking around the walls of the park with my friends.I collected many souvenirs which i took to my wife and she loved them.

The roman architectural style used in the construction of the gate serves to explain the early inhabitants of the location. I loved taking in the beautiful ambience brought about by the cultural heritage represented by the gate.

In front of the gate there is a quiet and green park with a fountain, where you can relax in silence. And right behind them, a labyrinth of ancient streets begins

Beautiful entrance and i was impressed by the architectural structure of the gate that almost glows during sunset and its lovely. They are the main entrance to the palace and it's an awesome adventure.

Great wall that sorrounds the palace and connects with the gate and gives spectacular views. I also got a chance to buy a few souvenirs from the many stalls here
