A small medieval town on an island linked by bridges to the mainland and to the island of Čiovo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Romanesque and Renaissance buildings. The highlight is the Cathedral of St Lawrence, with a magnificent carved portal by Master Radovan from 1240. Climb its bell tower for views.


Walk along the waterfront to the Kamerlengo Fortress. Trogir is close to Split Airport and about 30 minutes by bus from Split.
