About Trogir old town
Trogir’s old town sits on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo, a labyrinth of narrow streets paved in smooth, honey-coloured stone. Founded by Greek colonists, it reached its height between the 13th and 15th centuries, and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Look for Master Radovan’s portal of 1240 on the Cathedral of St Lawrence, the town loggia and the 15th-century Kamerlengo fortress. Then hunt for masons’ marks and carved stone games around the cathedral and the Church of St John the Baptist, best explored in the cooler hours.
