Solin is located in Central Dalmatia, Croatia, 5 kilometers northeast of Split. It is pleasantly positioned on the southern, sunny slopes of Kozjak Mountain (780 m) and the western slopes of Mosor Mountain (1340 m), Like the entire area of the Central Dalmatia, Solin is characterized by a very favourable climate. Solin was first mentioned in 119 BC as the centre of the Illyrian tribe. The Romans seized the site in 78 BC and under the rule of Augustus it became the administrative headquarters of the Roman Dalmatian province. The ruins of the ancient city of Solin (Roman Salona), are located among the vineyards at the foot of mountains just northeast of Split and are the most archaeologically important in Croatia.
