Split

Split (in Croatian Split, in Dalmatian Spalatro, in Ancient Greek Ασπάλαθος Aspálathos) is a city in Croatia, capital of Split-Dalmatian region, the principle center of Dalmatia and, with its population of 178,192 inhabitants (in 2011), is the second largest city of the country. Split is also an university and religious center.
The name of the city derives from the thorny broom, a very common shrub in the region, that in ancient Greek was called Aspálathos (Aσπάλαθος). Under the Roman Empire, the city was called 'Spalatum' and in the Middle Ages 'Spalatro' in the Dalmatian language. In the Slavic language it is called 'Split' while in italian 'Spalato'. In the early XIX century, the name became 'Spljet' and then returned to the form 'Split' again.

Ravenna

Ravenna lies on a plain near the confluence of the rivers Ronco and Montone, 10 km inland from the Adriatic Sea, with which it is connected by a canal.

Ravenna was important in history as the capital of the Western Roman Empire in the 6th century AD.

Nothing remains of Ravenna's ancient Roman structures or its port of Classis. Instead, Ravenna's fame is based on the quality and quantity of its 6th-18th century Christian monuments. It was the capital of the Western Roman Empire for 250 years and an important port of entry for the Eastern (Byzantine) Empire. Ravenna reflects in its art and architecture a fusion of Roman architectural forms with Byzantine mosaics and other decorations.
