Visit
A pleasing blend of Romanesque and Renaissance architecture, Trogir boasts a spectacular Venetian Cathedral of St. Lovro, a 15th-century town hall, and the Church of St. John the Baptist with its gorgeous carved portal.
Just a short drive away, visitors may explore the intriguing city of Split with its busy commercial port, residential houses, shops and restaurants, all rising from the incredible ruins of Diocletian’s Palace. The ancient ruins of the Roman city of Solin are also just a short drive away from Trogir and make an extraordinary day trip.
Kamerlengo Fortress at the waterfront is a 14th-century fortress built to control access to the harbor and the bay of Kastela. You can walk on top of the walls, reach the top of the big tower and enjoy the view over the town.
