Trogir

Trogir is situated in the middle of Dalmatia, on the Adriatic coast. Due to its position and natural protection, it is one of the most popular sea-ports and destinations for nautical tourists. Numerous attractions such as Dubrovnik, Šibenik, Zadar and national parks are within the radius of only a couple hundred kilometers.

Since Trogir is not far from the airport, only 5 kilometers; to the exit for the high-road only 15 kilometers, no matter where you come from, not one port, not one island is that far from Trogir to make this town unavoidable. Add to this the number sunny days and you have an ideal destination for adventures exploring of Dalmatia, a lazy vacation, escape from land and wondering through the aquarium of the Adriatic.

In the past, the town was one of the cultural centers of Dalmatia: in the 13th century enriched with the master works of master Radovan and Ivan Lucius, who filled the town with famous sculptors, architectures and paintings. The Radovan Portal was finished in 1240, and is a unique monumental work of this great Croatian artist, of whom the inscription on the base of the lunette says he is “the best of all in this artisanship”.

The old town core has been formed between the 13th and 15th century inside defense walls that were restored by Venice in the 15th century. They also added two forts that are still preserved: Castle Kamerlengo and the Tower of Saint Marc. Castle Kamerlengo is situated in the south-west side of the island. Its present shape is in the exact state as it was in the 15th century. South of the castle is the tower of Saint Marc also from the 15th century, and between the tower and the castle there is a gloriet from the time of the French occupation. The eastern part of the town has developed around the main square with the cathedral. The western part named Pasika, was built later in the century.
