It is known for the Gothic staircase in the courtyard, and winged lion on the wall of the building. It is a simple looking square building. It was first constructed in 15th century, and rebuilt in 1890 into the front having a Renaissance style then. It was a theater from 17th century until the fire in 1890.

Trogir, narrow passages

by JLBG

The old city of Trogir is a wealth of narrow passages. It is always interesting to stroll along, with no special goal. You will discover little jewels.

The first photo shows a small restaurant in a narrow passage. I know nothing of the food but the tables and chairs are entirely made with parts of olive trees, stumps and contorted trunks and branches. Isn't it pretty ?

The following photos shows passages where the sun is playing with the front wall or with the pavement, giving beautiful pictures for the photographer.

The last photo shows a covered passage with a balcony on top but if you look carefully, you will see that the balcony does not exist and that it is a trompe-l'oeil !

Trogir

by raintown4

Trogir is very small and quite scenic. It was a great place for us to kick back after a very long first day in Croatia.

We stayed at the Fontana Hotel and ate a sumptuous meal at their restaurant. We walked around the island. We noticed that very few people were speaking English as compared with Italy. We also noticed a large amount of families and young people. We liked the liveliness of the town.
