ABOUT THE DESTINATION
Trogir is a small walled town on an island between the mainland and Čiovo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Romanesque and Renaissance palaces, churches and a cathedral portal carved by Master Radovan in the 13th century. It sits 30 minutes from Split and is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean — a compact island of stone lanes that can be walked end to end in half an hour.

HISTORY & CULTURE
The Story Behind the Place
Trogir was a Greek and then Roman settlement that grew into a medieval commune under Venice, and its old town preserves a continuous sequence of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance buildings within its walls. The 13th-century cathedral portal by Master Radovan is one of the finest Romanesque works in Croatia, and the whole island old town was inscribed by UNESCO in 1997 as one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean.

NATURE & WILDLIFE
The Living Landscape
Trogir’s nature is the channel and Čiovo. The old town sits on an island in the narrow channel between the mainland and the island of Čiovo, and the Čiovo shore across the bridge holds the town’s swimming beaches and pine coves. The water in the channel is clear and sheltered, with the usual Adriatic fish and sea urchins on the rocks, and the pine shade of the Čiovo coves makes them the natural swim after a walk through the old town. Dolphins are occasionally seen in the wider channel toward Split.
