About Trogir

Trogir is a walled island town on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, a World Heritage site of marble lanes, a Romanesque cathedral and a seafront fortress.

Trogir occupies a tiny island between the mainland and the larger island of Čiovo, joined to both by bridges, and its old centre is a tight maze of stone lanes, small squares and Romanesque and Renaissance buildings. Founded by Greek colonists in the 3rd century BC, the town later passed to Venice, which left its loggia, its palaces and the lion of St Mark. The Cathedral of St Lawrence has a richly carved portal by Master Radovan from the 13th century.
