A popular day trip from Split and with enough attractions to warrant a short stay, Trogir
is a beautifully preserved walled town perched on an island. The tiny town is connected
to the mainland by a bridge. Its origins date back to the 3
rd
century BC but the town was
most prosperous during the 12
th
and 13
th
centuries under Croatian-Hungarian rule. Its layout
and architecture is influenced by the Ancient Greeks, Romans and Venetians, with well pre-
served Gothic-Romanesque churches, medieval houses, Renaissance and Baroque palaces
and a castle. Trogir has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 and you
can get there either by ferry or bus from Split.
