"...if you ever go To the lovely south, stop at Trogir;

Anchor your ship below the town walls."

Vladimir Nazor: "Croatian Kings"

Trogir is called a "little Venice", a town-museum of the medieval heritage. Its history goes back to the Hellenic times when it was known as Tragurion. Trogir- 2800 years of history and life in this " treasury of art " town were always in balance giving the world a magnificent picture of cool and peace. UNESCO recognized its values and included it in the registry of the world monument heritage.

Trogir was founded by Greek colonists from the Island of Vis in the third century BC. On this antique matrix lies the historical core of Trogir, which is the best preserved Romanesque-Gothic town, in the Adriatic, and in Eastern Europe. Trogir's medieval core, surrounded by walls, is composed of a preserved castle and tower and a series of homes and palaces from Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. The grandest building of Trogir is the church of St. Lawrence. The main West portal is the masterpiece of Master Radovan, the most significant work of art in Dalmatia.

Visit Trogir and feel the lush beauty of stone monuments, the mystique of the streets and vaults, coolness of the sturdy walls and bastions, the harmony of color and form of paintings and carvings. You can enjoy Dalmatian specialties (all kinds of sea food with olive oil) prepared with natural ingredients, or classic continental food in over 100 bistros and restaurants in Trogir area. Do the evening walk through tiny streets and squares during the Trogir Summer Festival and enjoy in the Folk dances, Classical concerts in the cathedral, or Jazz nights on Radovan square.
