Local Culture & History

Trogir is a living open-air museum. The old town, situated on a small island between the mainland and the island of Čiovo, is a maze of narrow stone streets that preserve the spirit of ancient times.

St. Lawrence Cathedral – The centerpiece of the town, famous for the impressive Radovan’s Portal from the 13th century. Climb the bell tower for a panoramic view of the entire area.

Kamerlengo Fortress – A 15th-century fortress on the edge of the waterfront, ideal for evening walks and summer concerts.

Town loggia and palaces – Every street hides historical gems – from Romanesque churches to Renaissance palaces that tell stories of Trogir’s proud trading past.

Gastronomy: The Mediterranean on a Plate

Trogir’s cuisine is a true expression of the Mediterranean lifestyle – simple, seasonal, and full of flavor. Local menus are rich with freshly caught fish, shellfish, olive oil, homegrown vegetables, and fragrant herbs like rosemary, bay leaf, and sage.

Traditional dishes include brodet (fish stew), baked sea bream with Swiss chard, and pašticada (Dalmatian beef stew), while lovers of grilled food will enjoy calamari or meat cooked under the traditional bell (peka). The local cured meats, cheeses, and freshly baked bread round out a rustic but refined culinary experience.

To enhance your meal, be sure to try local Dalmatian wines – crisp whites like Pošip or Debit, or robust reds like Plavac Mali, which pair beautifully with the region’s flavors. Whether you’re dining by the sea or tucked away in a quiet stone courtyard, every meal in Trogir is an authentic and memorable experience.
