Trogir is one of the pearls of the Dalmatian coastline that is surrounded by Adriatic waters with entangled streets, passage labyrinth, historical churches and palaces. This ‘museum-like’ city will certainly captivate anyone who sees it for the first time and would desire to even more. It dates back to the Ancient Greek and Roman times and the Lion of Venice. Also, here has remained the spirit of Napoleon and Francis Joseph.
In 3 BC, as small settlement was founded on a small island located between the land and Čiovo Island. It was established by the Greek colonists who gave it a Hellenic name called Tragurion, which means a Goat Village when translated verbatim. These were the beginnings of the today’s city.
Trogir is known for the wide range of historic sites from different eras; palaces of Trogir noble families, City Loggia, Duke’s Palace, fortresses and remnants of city walls, which surrounds the city and form a defence system for inhabitants against attacks by an aggressor. In the lead, there are sacral sites of the city, amongst which undoubtedly is the distinctive St. Lawrence Cathedral, also known as St. John Cathedral. It is located in the yard, in the very heart of the Old Town, and it forms a symbol of the city along with an exquisite Radovan’s Portal. The city was listed on UNESCO in 1997 as the World Heritage Site.
