Trogir is a UNESCO world heritage site. It is a tiny town with a long-drawn past originating in the 3rd BCE as a part of the Greek settlement. Trogir is also considered to be an old town that is remarkably well preserved, sporting a wide variety of architecture, including Romanesque,  Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Moreover, Trogir housed the first-ever pharmacy in Europe ,according to some accounts.

 

One of the most popular locations in Trogir is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, with the Radovan’s portal as its entrance. The cathedral boasts of delicate Romanesque architecture. The cathedral overlooks the central square, which also houses the Town Loggia, the Cipiko palace, the clock tower, and the town hall. In the summer, we found many street vendors selling ice creams and lollies in the town square, making it a hub of activity.  

 

Aside from the St. Lawrence Cathedral, Trogir is home to innumerable churches. Another church we visited was the Chapel of St. John with many renaissance artworks.

 

A short walk from the city centre is the Kamerlengo fortress. This fortress has guarded the city since the 15th century, towering over those who enter Trogir through its waterfront. The fortress seems to have been built with a more functional purpose in mind and, therefore, doesn’t share the grandeur of the Diocletian palace just a short distance over, in Split.
