Description of Private Tour of Šibenik and Trogir

Private Šibenik Walking Tour: The City of Fortresses

The comfortable drive from Split to Šibenik takes only an hour with your private driver guide. As the youngest of the major Dalmatian cities, Šibenik takes great pride in being founded by Croatian kings rather than Romans or Greeks. Few cities in the world can boast two UNESCO World Heritage sites, but Šibenik is one of them. During our Split Trogir Šibenik private tour, you will explore: The Cathedral of St. James: On the UNESCO list since 2000, this architectural marvel was built entirely of stone, using unique interlocking joints—a bold and unusual technique for its time. St. Nicholas’ Fortress: A stunning maritime fortification added to the UNESCO list in 2017. The Most Beautiful Square in Croatia: As you walk through the town, you’ll witness the Renaissance Town Hall, the Prince’s Palace, and ancient churches that form a square widely considered the most beautiful in the country. Your driver guide will lead you through the labyrinth of stone stairs and narrow alleys, sharing stories of the city’s resilience and its magnificent Renaissance heritage.

Visiting Trogir Town: The Stone Jewel Case

We will continue our journey towards the charming town of Trogir, which is considered one of the finest examples of Romanesque-Gothic-Renaissance architecture in Central Europe. During our visit, we will stroll along the beautiful stone streets, explore the local green market to discover seasonal produce and check out the fish market to see the fresh catches of the day. We will also walk along the waterfront and stop to enjoy a coffee on sunny days. Our tour of the ancient UNESCO Heritage city of Trogir will include visits to its main attractions such as St. Lawrence’s Cathedral with its impressive Radovan’s Portal, as well as the Central Square, Town Hall, Town Loggia, and the North and South Gate.

The Cathedral of St. Lawrence

A highlight of our Split Trogir Šibenik private tour is the historic town of Trogir, often called the ‘Stone Jewel Case.’ At the heart of its main square stands the breathtaking Cathedral of St. Lawrence, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997. Accompanied by your driver guide, you will discover a fascinating history that spans from the 13th to the 17th centuries: Radovan’s Portal: Admire the cathedral’s front entry, a world-renowned masterpiece of Romanesque art, recently restored to its full glory. The 200-Year Bell Tower: A unique vertical timeline of Dalmatian architecture—Gothic at the base, Venetian Gothic in the middle, and Renaissance at the top. The Dimly Lit Interior: Step inside to experience the mystical atmosphere of numerous altars and a treasury filled with stunning 15th-century carved-wood cabinets and ecclesiastical art.

Master Radovan’s Portal: A Masterpiece of Medieval Art

The centerpiece of Trogir’s UNESCO cathedral is its remarkable Romanesque door, carved by the local genius Master Radovan in 1240. This portal is widely considered the most magnificent piece of medieval art in all of Dalmatia. He carved most of the portal himself, and it was finished and signed in 1240, making it a unique work of this great Croatian artist. The portal is divided into two parts, upper and lower. The upper part depicts scenes from the Gospels, that is, the life of Christ. The portal is dominated by human figures. Radovan himself crafted the internal and external doorposts, which rest on the backs of bent-over bearers. Pictures of Adam and Eve standing on the backs of two lions can be seen beside the portal.
