or SPALATTO, a rich, populous, and strong town of the republic of Venice, capital of Venetian Dalmatia, with a good harbour and an archbishop's see. Here are the ruins of the palace of Diocletian, of which the late Mr Robert Adam published in 1764 a splendid account, enriched with 71 folio plates. In 1784, Spalatro was nearly depopulated by the plague. It is strong by situation, being built on a peninsula, which is joined to terra firma by a neck of land half a mile over. It is seated on the gulf of Venice, 35 miles south-east of Sebenico, and 102 north-west of Ragusa. E. Long. 17. 31. N. Lat. 44. 4.
