When you approach by sea, this fortress built by the Venetians in the 15th century stands as a lighthouse, announcing the town laying in the back.

When you arrive, it "sits" discreetly in the back, composing the beautiful look of the Riva. Very nice from all the angles!

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.

Because of the above, the historical centre of the city found its place among other world monuments of culture under the protection of UNESCO.

Trogir old town is a delightful place to wander round during the day. But those visiting just for a day miss the pleasure of the alleys and lanes - sights like the cathedral looks good as well - after dark. And when you're tired of soaking up the atmosphere on foot, there are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars where you can do the same thing sitting down!
