Split and Trogir private tour description
Private Split Walking Tour

Today it’s the economic, historical and cultural center of Dalmatia. Encircled by the Adriatic sea, the town welcomes boats of all shapes and styles. The entire town grew out of the ruins of an ancient Roman palace. Split’s most famous feature is its Diocletian Palace, considered the most spectacular.

Visiting Trogir Town
Next, we continue our panoramic drive from Split to Trogir. We will take you into the past time by retelling the stories and legends of Trogir. Greek, Roman and Venetian history on a small island connected to one makes this one of the most interesting historic oases on the Adriatic Sea. We walk through the ancient UNESCO Heritage city of Trogir and get to know all its main sights: St. Lawrence’s Cathedral with the majestic Radovan’s Portal, Central Square, Town Hall and Town Loggia, North and South Gate.
The Cathedral of St. Lawrence
Is the town’s centerpiece, located in the main square. Built between the XIII and XVII centuries, the cathedral has a rich history. The bell tower alone took 200 years to build, thus becoming a textbook lesson of the Dalmatian architectural styles: Gothic at the bottom, Venetian Gothic in the middle, and Renaissance at the top. The cathedral’s front entry – the ornately decorated, recently restored Radovan’s portal – is worth seeing. Inside, it’s dark, with many altars. The treasury features some beautiful XV-century carved-wood cabinets filled with ecclesiastical art and gear. The cathedral is included on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Romanesque portal
One of the most notable features of the Cathedral is its amazing Romanesque door, carved in 1240 by Master Radovan. It is a monumental and unique piece of art of Dalmatian Middle-age plastic. The local architect and sculptor Master Radovan worked on the cathedral’s gateway (main West portal) during the early stages of its construction. Most of the portal was carved by the master himself. Finished and signed in 1240, it is a monumental and, perhaps, unique work of this great Croatian artist. The portal is divided into two parts, upper and lower. The upper part shows scenes from the Gospels, that is, the life of Christ. Human forms dominate the portal. Both the internal and external doorposts rest on the back of bent-over bearers, also the work of Radovan himself. Beside the portal are pictures of Adam and Eve standing on the backs of two lions.
The Kamerlengo Castle
Built by the Venetians around 1420, this fortress was once connected to the city walls. Along the walls of the fortress, at the crown, there is a passage from all sides that served guard patrols, with a wooden fence and handholds. The Kamerlengo Fortress is open for visitors and from the most significant and oldest tower, there is a spectacular view of Trogir. In the summer, numerous concerts, shows, and film productions occur. The small wall fragments are located in the Northern and Western part of the city. The XIII century front South walls and the Fort of St. Nicholas (kula Sv. Nikole) and Fort Vitturi (kula Vitturi) have been well preserved. They are unique fortifications examples from those times.
