From what you can see, the palace was planned with great precision, its
design resembling that of a military encampment.  Unlike the sprawling and
irregular unplanned cities of the past, the Diocletian Palace takes the form
of a square divided into equal halves, accessed by two main arteries.  You
see one of the two main avenues to your north, and it appears to give access
way to the many systematized resident cubicles.  One of the six larger
watchtowers stands firmly to your southwest, and the atrium is to your east.
     The bloody, severed head of a playful child is lying here.
