The UNESCO World Heritage town of Trogir, a tiny island once completely walled is situated in a natural harbor along the Adriatic. Trogir was founded by the Greeks in the 3rd-century BC. It has been occupied by Romans, Byzantines, Hungarians, Venetians and Napolean.

St. Peter Church. I counted a minimum of seven old churches and monasteries on this small one-square mile island.

Beautiful carvings surround the doors, including a fig-leaf-covered Adam (pictured here) and Eve, at St John the Baptist Church.

The 15th-century Kamerlengo Fortress and Castle was built by the Republic of Venice. The word “Kamerlengo” is a Venetian administrative official or chamberlain.

Its fun to stroll through the city and discover its nooks and crannies. Note another wall way out of plumb.
Trogir would be a beautiful and enjoyable destination for a few nights. During the off season, there wouldn’t have been enough things to keep us exploring. Thankfully, a vacation rental manager steered us to Split!
Today is a bonus post because I have so many wonderful photos from Croatia that I want to share. Photos from our quick trip through the beautiful Balkans to come next time, when I Meet You in the Morning.
Thanks, Merrell, for sharing all these wonderful photos of Croatia! I have a friend who lives there & she has been asking me to come visit. What interesting archItectural history! What an adventure!
