Trogir seen from island of Ciovo
2 more images

Favorite thing: The view at the southern part of the city defending walls built by Venetians in 13 - 15 centuries. Most of the city walls were destroyed in the 17th century during the attaks of Turks.
In the central position of the picture there is the defending tower of Vitturi, one of the two very well preserved towers.

Fortress of St. Marc

Kula sv. Marka
4 more images

Favorite thing: Defending fortress of St. Marc is situated on north-west end of Trogir islet, built by Venetians in the 15th century for defense from Turks. It was the part of the west defense line together with fortress Kamerlengo, connected with it by the walls which disappeared after numerous battles.

Fondest memory: This picture was taken from the Fortress of Kamerlengo and as you can see in between there is a footbal stadium, no such exist in whole the world.

Favorite thing: The waterfront, coloquially called Riva, is the most distinctive top attraction of Trogir. It was renovated in 2002, under the designs of the most prominent Croatian architects.
Riva is mostly reserved for mega-yachts berthing. During the whole summer season it hosts numerous yachts of world celebrities.

The Portal of the Cathedral

The Portal made by master Radovan
1 more image

Favorite 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.

Fondest memory: 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.

The cathedral of St. Lawrence

Catedrala sv. Lovre
4 more images

Favorite thing: The most valuable monument of Trogir is the three-nave Cathedral of St. Lawrence built from 13-15 century. Its huge proportions dominates the old core of the town and whole islet aswell.
Btw, the front facade of the dathedral is still under the major reconstruction works but, as I was told, it will be finshed before high season.

Fondest memory: The portal of the cathedral was designed by master Radovan and it is a unique masterpiece work. It is decorated by reliefs and sculptures representing the life style of the time.

History and architecture

acemj 4857 reviews

Favorite thing: 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
acemj profile photo

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

acemj 4857 reviews

Favorite thing: 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.

The Land Gate

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

acemj 4857 reviews

Favorite thing: 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.

Worn, but beautiful

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

acemj 4857 reviews

Favorite thing: 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.
