“Mljet” National Park covers the north western part of the island with an area of 5.375 Ha. This area was proclaimed the National Park on the 11th November 1960 and represents the first institutionalized attempt to protect an original eco-system in the Adriatic.

At the core of the sprawling cityscape is the palace that Emperor Diocletian built for his golden years at the turn of the 4th century. What began as an imperial residence and fortified camp is today an intriguing warren of narrow cobblestone streets, where pre-Romanesque churches stand alongside Gothic chapels, history-filled museums, galleries of contemporary arts and delicious-smelling restaurants which compete with bustling cafes for the attention of visitors.
