Dioceltian Palace: Underground

The palace was this huge area along the Adriatic Sea in the middle of the sea. It sat empty but hundreds of years ago people into the palace. Before civic pride was created, they shoved their trash into the basement and left the area alone.

A shot of the ceiling, through which Croatians threw down their garbage into the lower level of a historic treasure.


This laziness was a boon. It preserved the basement's structure and integrity. Eventually, people moved out but in the 1970s, the drug dealers moved in. The palace is a maze of narrow streets and courtyards. The perfect place for clandestine sales. The basement's collection of trash kept the sordid life away.
