On its own tiny island that you can walk around in 30 minutes, Trogir’s historic core, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is in a word, astonishing. Founded by Greeks in the 3rdC BC, the symbol of the town is the Greek god Kairos. A relief with his image found here can be seen in the Benedictine Monastery. Few places on earth have had so much money spent by so few people in such a small area to showcase their wealth and power. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence is the town’s jewel and it took 400 years to finish.

Trogir: Timeless Beauty on a Tiny Island

Beginning with its supernatural entrance portal carved in 1240 replete with serpents, demons, life size nudes of Adam and Eve, a four year old Jesus being given a way too hot bath to the literal face of God looking down at you from a basilica ceiling inside, the magic and mystery here is profound.

Sacred Art and Strange Symbolism

The main square medieval architectural ensemble, stone paved winding alleys, richly ornamented facades, original Venetian-era city walls and Kamerlengo Fortress are fabulous.
