Trogir Tourism

by acemj

After crossing the small bridge adjacent to the bus station, I entered into the Old Town through this simple arch known as the Land Gate. Topping the structure is a statue of the town's protector, the 12th century bishop St. John of Trogir. His image can be seen in some paintings in the Cathedral as well.

Most people who visit the Adriatic Coast, stop in Split and Dubrovnik and if this is the case for you, be sure to visit Trogir as well. It's just a short bus ride away from the busier streets of Split to the tranquility of this pseudo island oasis. Why do I say pseudo-island? Well, the mainland is so incredibly close that it doesn't really feel like you're all that isolated, but nonetheless, Trogir is a beautiful spot.

Trogir's most dominant features to me, were its waterfront promenade and its main central square, Trg Ivana Pavla II where you'll find the Cathedral and a number of other important architectural buildings. However, part of the real charm of Trogir is found in the streets that fan out from the main square. Narrow passageways and time worn buildings can be found all throughout the Old Town and merit your exploration.

Trogir's origins trace back to the original Greek inhabitants of the 3rd century B.C., but most of what you see today is reminiscent of Venetian and Roman roots. This carving is found above the main door to the Domincan Church along the Riva and depicts Mary Magdalene covered only by her long flowing, tresses.

	Breezy day in Trogir Tip Rating:

The day I was in Trogir was gorgeous although it was a little cool. The breeze coming off the water was fresh, but fortunately the sun was shining and it was pleasant to stroll around and grab a bite to eat along the waterfront promenade.

I bet these clothes drying in the breeze smelled great.

Nice architecture

by FRONA

The whole city is like one big open museum.
Trogir is a remarkable example of urban continuity. The orthogonal street plan of this island settlement dates back to the Hellenistic period and it was embellished by successive rulers with many fine public and domestic buildings and fortifications. Its beautiful Romanesque churches are complemented by the outstanding Renaissance and Baroque buildings from the Venetian period.

Where ever you decide to go be sure that you can no miss anythig. Every street is interesting and what I like the most about it is that people still live and work there like it was an everyday thing!

As I have mentioned before, the magnificient portal of the cathedral is a must see. It is one of the most beautiful portals in whole the world.

By the time I have visited Trogir, and made this picture with analoque camera in 2002, the cathedral was under reconstructions and closed for the visitors. During my recent visit, in April 2006, I even couldn't approach to the portal.
