Résumé (en anglais)

A management plan for the historic centre of Split has recently been produced in order to improve the planning and coordination of activities which aim at better quality of life of its inhabitants and of the economy, while securing the long-term protection of cultural values of the place, and coping with the impact of growing tourism. The restoration and rehabilitation of the Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace is described as one of the most significant and the most extensive projects in the historic core of Split since its inscription on the UNESCO's World Heritage List 30 years ago. Started in 2004 as a stone cleaning operation, after a two-year survey of the as-found condition of the Roman colonnade and the surrounding buildings from later periods, it developed into a complex project including archaeological, geophysical and geo-mechanical research, consolidation of foundations and upper structures, cleaning and conservation of stone, plaster and other materials, lighting and presentation of this multi-layered monument. It is anticipated that the project will be completed by 2012. Apart from being an outstanding opportunity for young experts to gain hands-on experience in the most contemporary conservation and restoration procedures, the Peristyle project, together with other significant restoration works within the historic core, showcase the best conservation practice, and support the local economy by creating new jobs in conservation and maintenance of historic structures. Property value has risen and new uses, both commercial and cultural, have been attracted to the site.
