The historic town of Trogir is situated on an islet between the mainland and the island of Ciovo. It is about 500 meters long and barely half as wide. But there is everything you would expect from a historic town centre: a cathedral, a fortress, a city gate, city walls, some Romanesque churches, and houses and palaces from all periods: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. It is like an open air museum. The description on the UNESCO website states that Trogir is "an excellent example of a medieval town built" and "a remarkable example of urban continuity." This may be true, but I had rather the impression, that it does not add much to the previous inscriptions of Dubrovnik and Split. Nevertheless, I enjoyed to walk through the labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets and stroll along the promenade, especially in the late evening when there were less tourists.

We took Trogir as our base to visit Sibenik and Split. We stayed at a small hotel on Ciovo, the photo shows the view from Ciovo to the old city of Trogir.
