City Highlights

One of the most picturesque towns on the Dalmatian coast, Trogir may not be as well known as Split or Dubrovnik, but rivals these cities in beauty. The town was founded by Greek colonists from the Island of Vis in the 3rd century BC. On this antique matrix lies the historical core of Trogir, which is the best-preserved Romanesque-Gothic complex not only in the Adriatic, but in all of Central Europe.

Trogir's medieval core comprises a preserved castle and tower and a series of dwellings and palaces from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Trogir’s grandest building is the church of St. Lawrence, whose main west portal is a masterpiece by Radovan, and the most significant work of the Romanesque-Gothic style in the country.

Eating out is a joy - there are so many places to try, whether it be a simple take-away pizza, or a full-blown meal at one of the restaurants on the Riva, Trogir's famous promenade, where you can spend a whole evening dining outside, people-watching, and soaking up the atmosphere. We have a number of recommendations in our Visitor's Book.

The famous Trogir summer festival provides you with a wide variety of day and night-time entertainment. There are also many bars to choose from. Or visit one of the numerous ice-cream parlours for which Croatia is famous - watch your scoop of ice-cream being thrown high into the air and caught in the cone!
