It could have been, Split was the capital of historical Dalmatia province and still is the second biggest city of modern Croatia. Game of thrones Split is Mereen of Slaver’s/Dragon’s bay, but also Braavos and Dorne. With the ancient Diocletian’s Palace in its historical core, Split has a larger old town area than Dubrovnik, has more parking space and less tourists, especially cruise ships. However, Dubrovnik got priority, because it’s Dubrovnik, city with most impressive and preserved city walls in the Adriatic, walls that grow straight out of the sea. You will like Dubrovnik, but you will fall in love with Split, not just GOT legacy, but also food and lifestyle, its history that is even more compelling than G.R.R. Martin’s books.
Meereen, Braavos and Dorne. In 2013 HBO production recognised the potential of locations in Split area: ancient Diocletian’s Palace, Klis fortress, Kaštel Gomilica castle, Duilovo beach, Croatian president’s vacation house Villa Dalmatia and many more, but you need a local expert to identify and understand all those places.
