The city market against the palace's east wall: fruit, vegetables and happy noise from dawn, Split at its purest.

Right against the east wall of Diocletian's Palace, around the Silver Gate, the Pazar stalls rise every morning: figs and chard, cheese and pršut, flowers, socks and everything in between. Trade has happened on this very spot for centuries; come before noon while the stalls are full and the city still fresh.
Look for figs and sour cherries at the grandmothers' stalls right against the wall: garden to hand, no middleman.
A small next-step selection from the same city.
