The week of May 18–23, 2015 saw a series of interesting events dedicated to research and scholarship, which were hosted by the Institute of Art History – Centre Cvito Fisković in Split in association with the Ethnographic Museum in Split and the University of Split’s Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy. The events, taking place in the heart of Diocletian’s palace, in the beautiful building of the Ethnographic Museum, were organised as part of this research project, under the aegis of the Croatian Science Foundation. Additional support was kindly provided by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, the City of Split, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy of the University of Split, the Split-Dalmatia County Tourist Board and the Tourist Board of Split.

The rich week-long programme, developed under the umbrella title Discovering Dalmatia, included a student workshop, public lecture, scholarly colloquium and an international conference, all of which addressed distinct but interlinked topics concerning Dalmatia’s artistic and architectural heritage. The common thread was the perception of the region in all its different aspects and the recording of its space from the 18th century up to the present times.
