Abstract: Globally hyperbolic spacetimes with timelike boundary $(overlineM=McuppartialM,g)$ are the natural class of spacetimes where regular boundary conditions (eventually asymptotic, if $overlineM$ is obtained by means of a conformal embedding) can be posed. $partialM$ represents the naked singularities and can be identified with a part of the intrinsic causal boundary. Apart from general properties of $partialM$, the splitting of any globally hyperbolic $(overlineM,g)$ as an orthogonal product $$ with Cauchy slices with boundary $$ is proved. This is obtained by constructing a Cauchy temporal function $au$ with gradient $ablaau$ tangent to $partialM$ on the boundary. To construct such a $au$, results on stability of both, global hyperbolicity and Cauchy temporal functions are obtained. Apart from having their own interest, these results allow us to circumvent technical difficulties introduced by $partialM$. As a consequence, the interior $M$ both, splits orthogonally and can be embedded isometrically in ${mathbbL}^N$, extending so properties of globally spacetimes without boundary to a class of causally continuous ones.
