Trogir was first settled by the Greeks around the 3rd century BC. They called the town Tragurion, which roughly translated as Goat Island. Since then many different cultures have come - the Romans, Venetians, the French led by Napoleon, Austrians, and of course the Croats - each leaving their imprint on the island. Together they've created a rich historic and cultural mosaic along the Adriatic coast.

Trogir is a town-museum in the very meaning of the word. Lovers of cultural and historical monuments, art, original architecture and nice alleys are given the opportunity in Trogir to learn about the manifold and complex heritage - from the Romanesque yard to the modern interiors. The unique historical core, Radovan's portal, the art collections which have been arousing excitement among visitors and travellers for centuries offer a tourist beauty, personified in the relief of Kairos as an appropriate souvenir.
The wider surroundings of Trogir (Trogir - Seget - Ciovo Riviera) is characterized by lavish green vegetation, numerous islands and islets, rocky and pebble beaches. Apart from the high quality accommodation - hotels, boarding houses, apartments, villas, delicious domestic food, fish dishes in particular, the sports and recreation offer includes many opportunities - tennis, boules, bowling, jogging, surfing school, diving. Entertainment includes lively fishermen's nights and folklore show but also classical music concerts in special scenic sets of the town. A statue of St. John, Trogir's patron saint, stands at the town's northern entrance, welcoming visitors. Before the 19th century the entire islet was secured within city walls. Today only the medieval core is fortified.

On one side of the square stands the 13th century St. Lawrence Church. This is a local landmark; its carved Roman portal, dating back to 1240, is one of the most prestigious works of art in Dalmatia. The elaborate portal displays Adam and Eve, sculptured to perfection, along with a number of saints and other biblical characters. Visit the interior of the Cathedral is highly rewarding, as it is known to hold precious works of art.

Entire Old city core is under protection of UNESCO world heritage. Trogir monuments, buildings and work of Art are selected between very few cities in the World to represent world's culture and art treasure. It is a remarkable example of urban continuity. The orthogonal street plan of this island settlement dates back to the Hellenistic period and it was embellished by successive rulers with many public and domestic buildings and fortifications. Its beautiful Romanesque churches are complemented by the outstanding Renaissance and Baroque buildings from the Venetian period.
