Changes

The  original Roman Dalmatia is now divided between Croatia, Herzegovina and Montenegro. The cultural influence from the ''Republic of Venice'' is clearly evident in the urbanisation plans of the main Dalmatian cities of Croatia. One of the best examples is the one of Split (Spalato).

In 1880 Antonio Bajamonti (the last Dalmatian Italian Mayor of Split under [[Austria|Austrian]] rule) developed an urbanisation project of this city centred on the 'Riva', a seaside walkway full of palms based on the Italian Riviera models. Today the Riva (with cafe bars) is used by the locals to walk in a typical Italian way from the '''Palace of Diocletian''' towards an old square called locally 'Pjaca' (''or'' square in Venetian).

In Dalmatia, religious and public architecture  flourished with influences of the northern Italian Renaissance. Important to mention are the Cathedral of St James in Sibenik, the Chapel of Blessed John in Trogir, and Sorgo’s villa in Dubrovnik.
