Salona began its history centuries before the birth of Christ as an important port and market town on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea. The first formation in the city surely thanks Greek merchants and colonists. It came under Roman rule probably in 78 or 77. B.C. Gaius Julius Caesar elevated it to the level of a Roman colony. It then developed into the administrative, economic and financial center of Illyricum and a large port city, comparable to the then most important cities on the Adriatic coast: Aquileia and Ravenna.

This site became known as Scotland Yard and subsequently housed the original offices of the Metropolitan Police. The current building dates from 1909, but Crown Court Church has been on this site since 1719.
