You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to get to this island just connected to the mainland by easy walking bridges. The island of Trogir is mostly pedestrian alleys and promenades which makes it easy to walk everywhere and not worry about traffic, noise and ugly cars in your photographs. This historic and scenic city is a must visit site that is a very easy drive or take public transportation from Split, the largest city in this region.

You will enjoy walking around the compact city, getting lost amid the historic churches, squares, Venetian to Hapsburg influenced architecture and the delicious Dalmation food you’ll discover at along the waterfront area or some fun places in town to check out.

Trogir is really special and worth the visit so check out all these fantastic highlights to visiting the historic sites around the city below.

Going back down the tower into main cathedral hall – the interior is relatively simple but striking it it’s reserved gothic palate. It’s only when you walk around the interior and loggia that you notice all the beautiful details of this imposing cathedral in the center of town.  At the entrance, the saints stand tall on Venetian lions guarding the entrance gates with intricately carved details.
