Trogir

the historical heart of Trogir is a unique monument and since 1997 registered UNESCO cultural heritage. The ellipsoid form of the settlement on the island following the natural form of the ground formed by sea streams in the straits points to its prehistoric
tradition.

The town was founded by Greek colonists from the Island of Vis in the 3rd century BC. On this Antique matrix lies the historical core of Trogir, which is the best-preserved Romanesque-Gothic complex not only in the Adriatic but in all of Central Europe.

Trogir's medieval core, surrounded by walls, comprises a preserved castle and tower and a series of dwellings and palaces from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Trogir’s grandest building is the church of St. Lawrence, whose main west portal is a masterpiece by Radovan, and the most significant work of the Romanesque-Gothic style in the country. home page
