    The Roman temple itself is virtually gone. In the Romano-Etruscan style (as the reconstruction suggests), there's no significant interior decoration, as the deity resided inside and the faithful were outside. Furthermore, over the past millennium, the building has been converted into the Church of St. John the Baptist. While the temple/baptistery is historically significant, there's not much to see. Information panels offer some historical background, but what really took my breath away wasn't the small vaulted ceiling, but climbing the nearby cathedral bell tower. If you're looking to see one of the five attractions in the cathedral complex, it's worth a visit. However, I think the best three are included in the €12 "Green Ticket," which includes the cathedral, bell tower, and treasury.

    the Riva is a wonderfully relax and beautiful area by the sea, where you can find loads of stalls and good restaurants. you can basically just sit there all day and lost track of time in the picturesque place.

    There is nothing particularly outstanding about St. Dugin's Church itself, but the bell tower of St. Dugin's Church is a local landmark. The bell tower is located at the highest point of Diocletian's Palace. It is a great visual enjoyment to climb up the bell tower and look around the entire city.
