If you are arriving by cruise, your guide will be waiting for you in front of your ship to take you on a tour of the local areas.

Visiting Trogir Town

Our next destination is Trogir, which we will reach after a panoramic drive from Split. Trogir is an island with a rich history dating back to Greek, Roman, and Venetian times, making it one of the most fascinating historical sites on the Adriatic Sea. During our visit, we will take a walk through the ancient city, which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore its main attractions such as St. Lawrence’s Cathedral, featuring the magnificent Radovan’s Portal, Central Square, Town Hall, Town Loggia, and the North and South Gates. Additionally, we will retell the stories and legends related to Trogir, allowing you to experience the past and appreciate the city’s uniqueness.

The Cathedral of St. Lawrence

The town’s main square is home to the centerpiece – the cathedral. It was constructed between the 13th and 17th centuries and boasts of a fascinating history. The bell tower, which took 200 years to build, showcases the Dalmatian architectural styles: Gothic at the bottom, Venetian Gothic in the middle, and Renaissance at the top. The cathedral’s front entry, Radovan’s portal, has been recently restored and is exquisitely decorated – a must-see for visitors. The cathedral has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Romanesque portal

The Cathedral boasts an exceptional Romanesque door, which was carved in 1240 by a Dalmatian Middle-age plastic artist named Master Radovan. This unique piece of art was created during the early stages of the cathedral’s construction by the local architect and sculptor himself and is considered one of his most remarkable works. The portal is divided into two parts: the upper part depicts scenes from the Gospels, detailing the life of Christ, while the lower part is adorned with human forms. The internal and external doorposts are supported by the backs of bent-over bearers, also carved by Radovan. Additionally, there are pictures of Adam and Eve standing on the backs of two lions beside the portal.

The Kamerlengo Castle

The Kamerlengo Fortress was constructed by the Venetians in 1420, and it used to be connected to the city walls. Along the walls of the fortress, there is a passage that served guard patrols, with a wooden fence and handholds. Visitors are welcome to explore the fortress, and from the most significant and oldest tower, there is a spectacular view of Trogir. In the summer, the fortress hosts various events such as concerts, shows, and film productions. The small pieces of wall fragments are situated in the Northern and Western parts of the city.
