What to see

Cathedral of St. Lawrence (St. John of Trogir) is the most famous symbol of the city of Trogir. It was built and rebuilt for four centuries; from the 13th till the 17th century and therefore represents a mixture of different art styles from Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance to Baroque. The bell tower is an interesting example of the growth of architectural monuments through time in Dalmatia. It offers an overview of all of art styles represented in Dalmatia, from Romanesque to Mannerism.  However, we could state that the most of the cathedral was built in Romanesque style.

Glorijet (classicist pavilion) was built between the Kamerlengo fortress and the tower of St. Mark at the beginning or the 19th century during the French government in Dalmatia and in honor of Marshal Marmont. It is particularly interesting because it is one of the few monuments of the French government in Dalmatia.
