The vocal ensemble KUDŽ Filip Devi? will perform Piva klapa isp'o volta at Diocletian's Palace in Split on 28 September 2026. The local name is Dioklecijanova pala?a, and the performance is part of the Tourist Board of Split's September programme.
Klapa performances reach the palace on 28 September
The Tourist Board lists the performance for Monday, 28 September 2026, at several locations within the historic complex. The published venues are the Golden Gate, the Silver Gate, Ispod ure, Pjaca and the Vestibule.
The event is presented as a promenade performance by the vocal ensemble KUDŽ Filip Devi?. A September event listing places the performance inside Diocletian's Palace, while the ensemble's programme description says that performances take place on Mondays during June and September. The exact location can vary between the listed sites, depending on conditions and the feasibility of holding the performance at each place.
Klapa singing is a vocal tradition associated with close-harmony group performance. The setting makes the 28 September programme more specific than a general concert in Split: listeners are directed to the gates, squares and passageways that form the living urban fabric of the palace.
How the performance fits Split's Roman palace
Diocletian's Palace is not an isolated archaeological enclosure. Its Roman remains are spread through the centre of Split, where later buildings and daily urban life occupy the historic complex alongside ancient structures.
UNESCO records that the palace was built between the late third and early fourth centuries. The protected area also includes the medieval cathedral, Romanesque churches from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, medieval fortifications, fifteenth-century Gothic palaces and later Renaissance and Baroque buildings, as set out in the UNESCO heritage description.
That layered history explains the programme's changing venues. The Golden Gate and Silver Gate mark entrances into the Roman complex, while the Vestibule and Pjaca belong to the public spaces through which the historic centre is experienced today. The performance therefore uses several recognisable parts of the site rather than a single concert hall.
