Trogir, Harbor town in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia.
Trogir is a harbor town in Split-Dalmatia County spread across a small island between mainland Croatia and Čiovo island. Bridges link the three landmasses, and stone buildings line the waterfront facing the Adriatic.
Greek colonists founded Tragurion in the 3rd century BC, and the settlement later passed under Roman, Byzantine, Hungarian and Venetian rule. The Venetian period from the 15th century shaped the current cityscape with its narrow lanes and fortifications.
The Cathedral of St Lawrence displays at its portal from the 13th century stone carvings by Master Radovan featuring human figures and animals. The work ranks among the most important Romanesque art along the eastern Adriatic coast and draws visitors for its craftsmanship.
The historic core extends 500 meters (about 550 yards) in length and is easy to explore on foot, with many restaurants and shops inside the medieval stone structures. The main lane runs from bridge to bridge and provides orientation while walking through the old quarter.
The Kamerlengo Fortress from the 15th century now serves as an open-air cinema and concert venue during summer. Visitors can walk along the fortress walls while enjoying views of the sea and surrounding islands.
