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.
This version of the flag is very recent, and it is unclear whether it was formally adopted by the City Council. It came into use after the city's 1,700-year anniversary celebration. During the celebrations, the official 1700 anniversary flag was the de facto city flag. The current design was devised from that flag, by introducing another word "SPLIT" at the bottom, in wider font, in the place of the number "1700" which was there on the anniversary flag.
The older flag design, prior to the anniversary celebrations, consists 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.
