The Flag of Split is the vexillologic symbol of the city of Split. The flag is blue, with a shade gradient from darker to lighter from bottom to top, with the white emblem of the city in the lower half, consisting of six words "SPLIT" forming the silhouette of Diocletian's Palace and the Saint Domnius Cathedral belfry topped with a cross.[1]

The current version of the flag replaced an older design, which consisted of a silver outline of the northern walls of Diocletian's Palace, with the belfry of Saint Domnius Cathedral (similar to the city's coat of arms), set upon a blue field.

The traditional colours of Split are white and blue.[citation needed]
