Pisac na početku obrađuje važnost Dalmacije u hrvatskoj i europskoj povijesti, utvrđuje nove činjenice o njezinoj političkoj organizaciji, koja se u mnogim napisima opisuje množinom kao Dalmacije, te je donio zaključke o prostoru koji je posve izostavljen u dijelu historiografije,
a odnosi se na »kontinentalnu Dalmaciju« između Save i Drave. Njegova promišljanja naslanjaju se na promišljanja i sučeljavanja s rezultatima mnogih koji su nastojali utvrditi povijesno-političku poziciju Salone, ali i Dalmacije. Iz toga proizlazi stoljetno zanimanje mnogih istraživača, od humanizma do danas, za njezinu prošlost i spomenike. Od toga pa
do najnovijih vremena više je arheologa, povjesničara, arhitekata dalo obol istraživanju Salone i valorizaciji njezinih spomenika. Mnogi od njih su zaslužili da ih se obilježi u prostoru definiranom uz cemeterij na Manastirinama u okviru lokaliteta Tusculum. U izlaganju, pisac
se osvrće na najvažnije od njih čija bi memorija bila oživotvorena u obliku bista postavljenih u drvoredu čempresa tvoreći Aleju istraživača Salone, ili kraće Aleju istraživača. U drugom dijelu rada autor se bavi salonitansko/solinskim prostorom, jer su Salona i Solin
neodvojiva kulturno-povijesna cjelina sačinjena od rimskoga kompleksa i srednjovjekovnih spomenika od najveće važnosti za hrvatsku državu i identitet. Stoga predlaže se da se uz spomenuti projekt afirmira i potakne realizacija projekta koji bi se prikladno mogao nazvati
Dolina hrvatskih kraljeva. Istraživači don Frane Bulić, don Lovre Katić, Duje Rendić- Miočević, Ejnar Dyggve uz druge koji su zaslužili svoje mjesto u Aleji istraživača Salone, svoje su radove usmjeravali također prema starohrvatskim spomenicima poput Trpimirovih Rižinica, mauzoleja hrvatskih kraljeva na Otoku te krunidbenu baziliku kralja Zvonimira. Uz druge spominjane hrvatske kraljeve i kraljice, tim bi se projektom jedinstvena naziva Dolina hrvatskih kraljeva (Dolina kraljeva) valoriziralo najvažnije povijesno nasljeđe hrvatskoga identiteta.The author begins the paper by dealing with the importance and significance of Dalmatia in the Croatian and the European histories, establishing new facts on its political organisation that is in many texts referred to in the plural form, Dalmatias, and presenting
new conclusions on the the territories that also include the »continental Dalmatia« between the Sava and the Drava rivers. This aroused the centuries long interest of numerous researchers, since the period of Humanism, about its history and monuments, and the province capital – Salona. Salona will loose this role when destroyed by the Avar and
Slavic invasions in the early Middle Ages, letting it over to Zadar. Hoverer, at that time it will become the centre of a new state on the eastern Adriatic coast, the Croatian principality and kingdom. Furthermore, in analysing of the plural Dalmatias, the discussion is included also the fact that according to all early medieval sources the »other Dalmatia« is actually Međurječje (»mezopotamia«), the area between the Drava and the Danube rivers, that is, the continental Dalmatia (Tuberon). The problem of the later, reduced (to around 5 % of
the province of Dalmatia), Liburnia as a microspace excludes the possibility of it being such an important factor that participated in co-naming of an entire state by a plural name. Furthermore, these events will not, for political reasons, allow rebuilding the city. The episcopal
complex, at that time still undamaged, ill not be rebuilt, and all new Croatian sacral and court complexes will be built immediately outside the Salona’s city walls, between this city and Split. At the arrival of the new epoque, its monuments, especially the inscriptions, became subjects of interest since as early as the humanists Dmine Papalić and Marko Marulić. Since that time numerous archaeologists, historians and architects made their contributions to researching Salona and its monuments in many ways. Some of them have particularly earned to be marked in an adequate space defined next to the Manastirine
cemetery. The paper presents the most important of them, the memory of who would be materialised in the form of busts down an line of cypresses, making the Salona Researchers Alley, within the Tusculum complex. Since Salona with its Roman complex makes a cultural
and historic entity indivisible from the early medieval monuments of Solin, it is suggested that besides the above stated project, affirmed and instigated is renewal and presentation of the royal structures and their surroundings in the parallel project of the Croatian Kings Valley. Rev. Frane Bulić, Rev. Lovre Katić, Duje Rendić-Miočević, Einar Dyggve have earned their place in the Salona researchers alley, but they linked their work also with the King Trpimir’s Rižinice, the Croatian kings mausoleum at Otok, and the King Zvonimir’s coronation basilica. Other mentioned kings and queens included as well, this project would value the most important historical heritage of the Croatian identity
