It was first build to be the Mausoleum for Diocletian, the Roman Emperor. That idea lasted a few hundred years, when the place was turned into a cathedral. Here's the fun part: It's the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world among those still using its original structure. A bell tower eventually was attached to the building, meaning that it took a few hundred years to get it done. But people can still take to the 183 steps to the top for a look around the town. The tower is about 60 meters tall.
The last remodeling job took place around the year 1900. It's been a big part of Diocletian's Palace for centuries. We didn't make it inside, but you can.
