One of the most adorable cities in Croatia is also one that is often overlooked. Located along the Dalmatian coast, the town of Trogir is absolutely fascinating, with a culture that was created under Greek, Roman and Venetian influence. When visiting, you may notice that pretty much every window and every doorway in Trogir is a piece of art.
Trogir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and can easily be done as a day trip from Split. One of my absolute favorite sites was the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, a Roman Catholic cathedral that is the most imposing monument of Trogir. Bearing a Romanesque façade, the cathedral was built between the 12th and 17th century and is part of the town’s history.
Our group was lucky enough to have Ivo for a guide in Split; and wow, did he treat us nicely! After showing us around this exquisite Cathedral, he excused himself and basically vanished through a door in the back. We were all still busy looking around and admiring the cathedral when we looked up… and there was our guide playing the church’s huge pipe organ – which is centuries old! It was absolutely beautiful and I have to confess, it brought tears to my eyes.
In addition to admiring the town’s beauty, when you do make it to Trogir, please make sure to take a leisure walk around the city streets and buy one of their super cheap, yet delicious ice cream cones. I recommend you try the Kinder Egg flavor – yum!
