Abstract
The southeast part of Diocletian's Palace developed in a different way from the other parts, and it was thus treated differently in conservation and restoration. The medieval archbishopric used the Roman halls and they were mostly preserved until the early 16th century. When the archbishop's palace, that stood above the filled-in basements, was pulled down the ensuing empty space was gradually built up after the second half of the 16th century. This newer construction ignored the classical grid of the basements. The buildings were partly founded on the rubble of the fill, and partly on the Roman substructures, which affected their stability so that were in a ruinous state in the 20th century.
