Did you know?

Stroll through Trogir's cobblestone streets, savoring the salty breeze from the harbor and the historic charm of the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. The salty breeze from Trogir Harbor swirls around your shoulders as you step onto the cobblestones. You find yourself in the heart of the Old Town, where the Cathedral of St. Lawrence looms in stone, its stained‑glass windows catching the late‑afternoon light. Nearby, the Kamerlengo Fortress stands tall, its walls echoing stories of past sieges, while the ancient city walls wrap the town like a protective embrace. A quiet walk along the harbor lets you hear the gentle lapping of waves against the quay, and the scent of fresh seafood wafts from a nearby market. As you pause, the view of the distant Kornati National Park islands glistens on the horizon, inviting you to imagine a day of sailing. Take your time, breathe in the history, and let the city unfold at its own pace.
