Trogir
Trogir was named after a greek word tragos which means goat, since there were many in the region. It was inhabited by Greeks already in the 3 century before Christ. There are many monuments that date back to the period of greek colonization the most important of which is Kairos – a divinity of good moment, from 3 century BC. Later, Romans inhabit the city until the foundation of Croatian state in the 9th century when Trogir gains its autonomy and keeps it until the arrival of Venice in 15th century.
Trogir is also called city-monument because it kept its medieval core as well as numerous sights like Saint Laurence's cathedral, doorway of Radovan, Dominican convent, Duke’s court from 13th century, a collection of works of art from 15th century and a statue of Saint John, protector of the city.
Trogir is under the protection of Unesco and a popular destination of many tourists because of its beauty, significant history and interesting geographical position (it is situated on a small island connected to the mainland by a movable bridge). There are many nearby beaches as well as a good summer program in the evenings which will win the interest of every visitor.
