Entry to the Old Town is free, a pass is only required to walk the walls. 1. Pile Gate 2. Big Onofrio's Fountain 3. Roland's Column A slender stone flag staff of the legendary knight. 4.

Sponza Palace Gothic Renaissance palace, one of the few buildings that has maintained its form from before the catastrophic 1667 earthquake. 6. Rector's Palace The former palace of the Major Council houses a museum dedicated to the city's history. Do ## Things to do Cliff Jumping @ Cafe Buža. See listing for Cafe Buža in the Drinks section.
