From Split my travel continued further to the west following Dalmatian coastline. Less than 30 kilometers drive from Split, you can find the county’s third UNESCO world heritage site, the historical city of Trogir. This small city lies next to the coastline, located in a small island which can be accessed from mainland by foot or by car. You can also visit this city by taking the ferry trip from Split. I wandered few hours in this small city and island and enjoyed tasty lunch and some delicious ice cream here before continuing my trip to another county of Croatia. Although Split-Dalmatia didn’t impress me as much as many other places I have visited in Croatia, all in all my visit to this county was enjoyable and I saw lot of interested places.
“Trogir 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 fine public and domestic buildings and fortifications. Its beautiful Romanesque churches are complemented by the outstanding Renaissance and Baroque buildings from the Venetian period.” -UNESCO
