Saint Martin (Golden Gate) 
Inside Diocletian's Palace, Christianity has been present since its early days. Its first architectural impact was recorded at the end of 5th and the early 6th century with the construction of the chapel of St. Martin, patron of soldiers and tailors.
In the 11th century the church of St. Martin got the early Romanesque bell tower similar to the own above the Iron gate. Inside there is an altar furnishing from the same period.
Today it is mainteined by the Benedictine nuns, who will introduce you to its history since the 5th century.
