Number 23: Diocletian Split and Game of Thrones, an evening with Vjeran Mlacic

The remarkably well preserved Roman architecture in Split made for fantastic location choices for the Game of Thrones TV series. Fred and I are fans.  I have even waded through all 7 books of the George RR Martin books, thanks to June and Ross.

Number 23:
Diocletian Split and Game of Thrones, an evening with Vjeran Mlacic


Diocletian Palace basement halls built between 295-305 AD,
also the scenes of Daenerys interactions with her dragons in Game of Thrones.
The Game of Thrones shop in Split put me touch with VJ and he made time for a private tour last evening for the four of us. Collen and Sarah had arrived earlier in the day from the UK and it was thrilling to meet up over beers, wine and a G&T.
We loved the walkabout, digging deep into the Roman history for Fred, but also been shown the locations where the GoT seasons 4 and 5 were filmed. Dragons, Meereen, Daenerys, battle scenes with the Sons of Harpy, the Unsullied, the Kill the Masters scene and so much more.
Collen and Sarah belong to the rare club of never having watched the series but they were loving it all anyway.

Team K and Team B in Split, exploring the Game of Thrones film sets.
VJ is fabulous! Loves his city, is passionate about history and tells the stories with ease.
