Location of Trogir

Trogir has situated 27 km from Split on the Adriatic Coast, at the end of Kastelanski-bay. The city lies on a tiny island between the island Čiovo and the mainland. Its environment has many beautiful bays including the exceptionally beautiful Seget and Saldun bays.

History of Trogir

Trogir’s history dates back to Illyrian times. This ethnic group settled here first, but the colonizers were the Greeks who established the city of Tragurion on the island in the third century b.C. As part of the Roman Empire, it used to be an important port, but when the empire got divided into two, Trogir and Dalmatia became part of the Byzantine Empire. Afterwards, the territory became part of the Kingdom of Hungary and in 1105 the city opened its gates in front of the army of Kálmán, king of Hungary In 1108 the king awarded the city with special rights. The power of Venice and Hungary alternated in this area in the coming centuries.

During the period of the Mongol invasion, King Béla IV found refuge from the Mongols on this island in 1242. When the Republic of Venice seized existence, the city got under French rule, then became part of the Habsburg Empire. When the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy collapsed, it became part of the Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian Kingdom, then Italy and Yugoslavia. In 1990 locals voted in a referendum that it should join Croatia.

Main sights in Trogir

It would be rather complicated to list all the wonderful sights of the city from the Middle Ages that was established between the 13th and 15th centuries.

It was built-in Roman and Gothic style featuring the main gate of master Radovan, which is the most valuable building sculpture masterpiece of Dalmatia from around 1240. The most ancient symbol of Trogir is Kairos, the antique Greek god.

The old town was created between the city walls that date back to the 13th and 15th centuries. The citadel Kamerlengo and the Saint Mark tower belong to its defence system.

Another 15th-century building, the Saint Mark tower can be found to the south of it. A neoclassical gloriette stands between the two buildings; it was built during the French occupation. The church Saint John the Baptist with its frescos from the 13th century is at the beach. Visitors are also advised to have a look at the Čipiko palace from 1457 besides the churches and chapels.
