Salona

"Salona (*Osteria, not far from the station), the Roman Salonae, the ruins of which occupy all the heights around the bay, now a village of 1700 inhab., most picturesquely situated at the base of the Monte Caban (or Kozjak). The ruins os Salona, though neither grand nor extensive, dserve a visit, if only for the sake of their beautiful situation. [...] Since 1821 the RUINS (town-hall, theatre, amphitheatre. etc.) have been partly excavated, but without very valuable result. Most of the chief relics are now in the museum of Spalato. [...] The Porta Andetria, through which the Via Gabiniana led to Clissa. Rich vegetation everywhere" (p.301).
