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.

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

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
