We went from the port of Split by bus to Trogir which is one of the oldest towns in Europe with history dating back nearly 4000 years.It is actually an Island connected by a small bridge and on the way we passed the Roman ruins of a town called Salona and saw the aqueduct they built to move water and amazingly parts of it are still in use , great engineers the Romans. Trogir is a Unesco world heritage site and as it sits right on the water it has a lovely marina and lots of restaurants on the waterfront which makes for a very pleasant meal . The place is very well preserved and it is enjoyable to walk around the narrow streets and view the ancient buildings.There are about 10 churches and probably the most imposing monument is the Cathedral of ST. Lawrence which was begun in 1213 and finished in the 17th. century. There are many 13th. century buildings to admire and a walk down to the Kamerlengo Fortress is worth while. A lovely old town to visit when in the area.
Even if you just travel to Split, try to spend a day in Trogir, UNESCO heritage site. Narrow, stone covered streets, plenty of good bars and restaurants. Spend few hours strolling around, have a drink on riva with a view of yachts... Enjoy Trogir!
Lovely little historic town situated on small island near the island Ciovo. I felt like I was transported to past. Incredible experience. 5 stars!
As my title suggest a quaint lil town ..went to the fort ...and also the Cathedral ...looks like a mini split...
We are so glad we stayed in Trogir, rather than the bigger cities of Split or Dubrovnik. Trogir had all the historical sites within a small island, all beautifully preserved, without it feeling overly commercial. Thoroughly recommended!
Ideally situated and very beautiful medieval city. Very rich with history and art. Loved its tiny and narrow stone streets.
特洛吉尔是个精致的岛城,滨海大道有许多的小摊商,而花个1、2个小时就能大略走完。爬上圣罗伦斯教堂的钟塔可以俯瞰整个特洛吉尔,橘红色的屋顶在阳光的照耀下衬著湛蓝的海水显得十分美丽。
If you have not yet seen old Trogir you have something that you must add to your "Bucket-list". The small historical town is unique and just sitting at one of the caffees and breath the historical air will make you live longer.
You've probably heard of, visited or at least planned to visit old city of Dubrovnik (also in Croatia). Well, Trogir is like a smaller version of equally rich-in-sights town. Not as much crowded, which is good, and ready to offer an atmosphere of history and Mediterranean.
I recommend visiting Trogir historical centre for 4 to five hours. It is a nice place, although there are more impressive attractions in the country and the Split region. You can also find many restaurants in Trogir, the cathedral is nice, but not for a whole day.
