Trogir Old Town
Trogir
A medieval stone old town on a small island, with the Romanesque St. Lawrence Cathedral and Kamerlengo Fortress. It is a World Heritage Site about 30 km from Split.
Trogir Old Town sits on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo Island. It was founded by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC and preserves an intact medieval street layout. It was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1997. The must-see is St. Lawrence Cathedral, whose Romanesque portal, completed in 1240 by the sculptor Radovan, is exceptionally fine. You can climb the bell tower for views over the old town. Other highlights include the 15th-century Venetian Kamerlengo Fortress and the palm-lined seafront promenade. The old town is small, and walking around takes 1–2 hours. From Split, take bus 37 for about 40 minutes, or in summer take a boat for about 1 hour.
