Trogir - today we will go straight from the hotel to the island of Trogir. Trogir is a museum city declared by UNESCO as a world heritage site. It lies on a small island separated from the mainland by a narrow canal and bridges connecting it to the mainland. The tiny town is full of Renaissance architecture, preserved from its heyday, when it was ruled by the Republic of Venice. Trogir has an impressive central promenade passing between the city wall and the marina. We will pass by Lucic Palace where one of the most respected families in Croatia lived and between the narrow alleys of the old city full of cafes, restaurants, shops and a lot of noise. We will continue to Yohanan Paulus the second square, the loggia and the clock tower, the town hall and the Chipico Palace.
Our next stop is the Klis Fortress, which is located northeast of Split. This Croatian fortress served as the seat of the Croatian knights and as the main protector of the transport axis to Dalmatia. Since the port of Split was the port the main one (in front of the port of Dubrovnik which later became the main one in importance) it was necessary to protect it from the inland direction. Walking to the fortress, we will talk about the building and its importance and look towards the harbors of the city of Split and its surroundings that lie at our feet. Klis fortress featured as one of filming locations for The Game of Thrones.
