Trogir is located on a small island, sandwiched between the mainland and a bigger island. It has had a potted history of occupation by many different nations, from the Greeks in the third century, to the Romans and Byzantines who also controlled it. It was sacked by the Saracens and abandoned for several decades until Hungarians took over the region and it’s fortunes revived once again. It fell under Venetian rule in the fifteenth century and they remained the rulers for over three hundred years.
These different cultures all left their mark upon the tiny city and buildings reflecting these cultures abound in the picturesque alleys and squares with examples of many architectural styles.
There is a thriving marina along the seafront and on the day I visited, there was a colourful market set up along the quay with stalls selling antiques, bric a brac and locally produced merchandise.
