Porta septemtrionalis ist ihr römischer Name. Durch sie betrat Kaiser Diokletian am 1. Juni 305 den Palast. Sie wurden in Form eines Vierecks mit Doppeltüren als Teil einer militärischen Verteidigungstaktik (propugnaculum) errichtet.
Die Fassade ist mit Nischen verziert, die Skulpturen von vier Tetrarchen (Diokletian, Maximian, Galerius und Constantius Chlorus) zeigen. Dieses Tor, durch das der Weg vom Peristyl entlang der Cardo-Straße direkt nach Salona als Hauptstadt der römischen Provinz Dalmatien führte, durfte nur vom Kaiser und seinen Familienangehörigen benutzt werden. Heute sind sie zusammen mit dem nahe gelegenen Denkmal für Bischof Grgur Ninski, einem Werk des großen kroatischen Bildhauers Ivan Meštrović, eine der beliebtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Split. Unter dem Einfluss von Venedig wurde das Tor im 16. Jahrhundert in Porta Aurea oder Goldenes Tor umbenannt, ein Name, der bis heute erhalten geblieben ist.

This gate is located at the Northern side of Diocletian's palace. It offers a grand entrance to the palace. The architectural design of this gate is magical. Though it has been modified over the years, it still stands out. Its history is pretty impressive. I visited this place and it is surrounded with great historical places and sites.

Golden gate park is the largest man made park in the world, it's a must go place whether you are visiting San Francisco or a local. Some of the things we did there included biking from one end to another, seeing the de Young museum and the Academy of science during their free days, saw the buffalo in their enclosure, and had lunch at china town.

Lovely landmark that is an entrance to the fortress. It has a beautiful and fascinating architectural structure that is eye catching. It has a wall that we enjoyed the sight of as we went cycling around the place and loved our tour. The gate is phenomenal and has a great historical story that enlightens more about the place and many other awesome things. The design is unique that give a different touch of a genius work of art that is beautiful.

Its roman design is fabolous, its colour also blends with it making it more beautiful. There are also less crowds so anyone looking to visit will enjoy.
