Activities and Attractions

TROGIR: 
 
The history of Trogir can be followed from the original inhabitants,  
Illyrians, who had their settlement on the grounds of today’s  
Trogir. The first colonizators of the Adriatic islands and coast  
were Doric Greeks from Syracuse who founded Issa on the island of  
Vis in 390 B.C., and in the 3 rd century B.C. the colony of  
Tragurion.. Greek historians and geographers Ptolomey and Strabo  
mention Trogir as an Isseian “island and city”. After his victory  
over Pompey, Caesar punished Issa, by abolishing its independence  
and taking away its mainland properties, including Trogir. Pliny the  
Elder, Roman historian, mentions Trogir-Tragurium in the 1 st  
century as Roman city, well-know for marble, whereas Peuntiger’s  
Table and Antoninus’s Itinerary show Trogir as an important port and  
state granary. With fall of the Western Empire, Trogir and other old  
Roman cities in Dalmatia became part of a special military province  
(temat) of the Byzantine Empire. In the chaos of the early Middle  
Ages, the Roman natives, with no strong Byzantine garisons, lived in  
fear of attacks by the barbarian nations, who unprotected, prayed to  
the new Cristian God. Due to its islet location between the mainland  
and the island of Ciovo, the town did not meet the tragic fate of  
Salona, destroyed during an attack of the Avars and Slavs. From the  
seventh century Croatian princes built their castles with the  
endowment church of St. Martha, not far from Trogir, in Biaci.  
Gradually, the Croats enter the town developing certain Roman- 
Croatian ethnic symbiosis. After the great conquests of Carlemagne (? 
814.), the Dalmatian cities, including Trogir, came under Frankish  
rule. The document on the foundation of the Monastery of St. Doimus  
(1064.) contains only Croatian national names. Croatian princes and  
kings after stayed in Trogir which enjoyed their protection and  
privileges. After the fall of the Croatian national dynasty, due to  
the diplomatic skills of the Bishop Ivan Orsini (1111.) the citizens  
of Trogir opened the city gates to the Hungarian king Koloman who  
was also crowned the king of Croatia in Biograd na moru. A difficult  
period for Trogir was the invasion of the Mongolians in pursuit of  
the Hungarian-Croatian king Bela IV who in 1242. rescued himself by  
escape to the safer Trogir. There he had an opportunity to admire  
recently finished portal of Master Radovan, the masterpiece of  
Middle Age Croatian Art. In the Middle Ages the town was ruled by  
the Statute (the oldest preserved one from 1322.). Members of the  
Great Council were elected from the Small Council and the Secret  
Souncil, which discussed the important security issues of the city.  
A pharmacy in Trogir is mentioned already in 1271., as the first one  
in this part of Europe. It shows the level of economic  
civilizational achievments of the free Middle Ages Comune with  
widespread. commercial and cultural relationships troughout the  
Mediterranean and Europe. In June 1420, after a bloody battle, the  
Venetian troops of Captain Petar Loredano entered Trogir. All the  
city’s liberties were abolished, and Venice took all the power which  
lasted till the end of the 18th century. After the brotherhoods were  
dissolved, the citizens united in citizens’ assemblies through which  
they tried to restrain the despotism of the governer and nobles.  
Many distinguished inhabitants of Trogir fled from their city. Among  
them was Petar Berislavic, later Viceroy (Ban) of Croatia and Bishop  
of Zagreb, who died by a Turkish sword in 1520., deceived and  
exausted by heavy fighting for the freedom of Croatia. The majority  
of nobles studied in Italian cities where they got humanistic  
education. Among them was Ivan Lucius-Lucic, the father of modern  
Croatian historiography. Turkish devastation in the near of Trogir  
from the 17 th century completely destroyed the town from the  
economic point of view. At the end of the 18 th century Venetian  
Republic was abolished. During Napoleon’s wars from 1806-1814.,  
Trogir was annexed to the Illyrian provinces under Marshal Marmont.  
After Napoleon’s military defeat Trogir became the part of Austria- 
Hungary. In 1867., with the support of Bishop Strossmayer, the  
National Library was founded and became the focal point of national  
renaissance. Twenty years later, after long political struggles with  
Italy-oriented population demanding autonomy, the commune of Trogir  
passed into Croatian hands. With the fall of the Austrian Empire  
after the World War I in 1918, Trogir joins Kingdom of Serbs, Croats  
and Slovenians. General dissatisfaction and stagnation was gradually  
increasing. In April 1941, Italy occupies Trogir without resistance  
and in 1943., one-year German occupation of Trogir begins. Trogir  
gained its freedom in the end of 1944., after numerous victims and  
destroyed economy. The period of economical development, particulary  
shipbuilding and turism, follows, together with the increase of life  
standard of the citizens. But, the narrowness of the national  
awareness and democratic freedoms in South-Slavic Federation causes  
a great discontent of the citizens. After the first democratic  
elections, held in 1990. by general plebiscitery of the Croatian for  
free and independent state of Croatia, Trogir gives new victims as  
the foundation of the freeedom of the Croatian people and the  
involvement of Croatia in European civilizational and economic  
prosperity. HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL MONUMENTS AND FAMOUS WORKS OF  
ART The old town core has been formed between the 13 th and 15 th  
century inside defence wall that was restored by Venice in the 15 th  
century. They also added two forts that are still preserved: citadel  
Kamerlengo, and the tower of St. Mark. The Kamerlengo citadel, that  
is used to be connected with the city walls, is on the south-western  
part of the island. Its present shape it got in the 15th century.  
More in the south is the tower of St. Mark from the 15th century,  
and between the tower and the citadel, there is a gloriet built in  
the style of classicism, from the time of the French occupation. In  
the part of the town that developed on Ciovo there are a few  
interesting small churches. The older, eastern part of the town has  
developed around the main square with the cathedral. The western  
part, Pasika, was built later. In the past, the town was one of the  
cultural centres of Dalmatia: in the 13 th century master Radovan  
worked there, and in the 15 th century there were famous sculptors,  
architects, builders, humanists and historians (Ivan Lucius). The  
Radovan Portal finished in 1240, is a monumental and perhaps unique  
work of this great Croatian artist, of whom the inscription on the  
base of the lunette says he is "the best of all in this artisanship". 
The entrance into the town from the north is through the renaissance  
town gates from the 17 th century with the sculpture of Blessed Ivan  
Ursini, the patron saint of the town. On the main square there is  
the cathedral from the 13 th - 15 th century with characteristics of  
both Romanesque and Gothic styles. The most important port of the  
cathedral, and the most valuable work of the Romanesque sculpture in  
Dalmatia is the portal of master Radovan from 1240. The sculpture of  
St. Lovro and triangular gable were added to it in the 14 th  
century. In the cathedral there are also: the baptistery from 1464,  
the most important preserved work of the sculptor Andrija Alesi;  
octagonal stone pulpit from the 13 th century; Gothic chorus  
benches; ciborium from the 14 th century; paintings of the local and  
Italian masters; Gothic chapel of St. Jeronim from 1438; and chapel  
of the Blessed Ivan Ursini, the most beautiful renaissance monument  
in Dalmatia, the work of Nikola Firentinac from the 15 th century.  
The most beautiful objects from the treasury are embroideries, ivory  
Gothic triptych, and medieval illuminated codices.  On the square  
there is the town loggia from the 15 th century, clock tower, and  
the small church of St. Sebastijan that was built in the renaissance  
style. The small, early medieval church of St. Barbara, from the 9  
th - 10 th century, is located behind the loggia and it is the  
oldest church in Trogir. The square is close by the Cipiko Palace.  
Opposite to it, is the town hall from the 15 th century. The  
renaissance church of the St. John the Baptist from the 13 th  
century, with remains of the medieval frescos and the tomb of the  
Cipiko family, is on the coast. Further down the coast is part of  
preserved defence walls with tower and renaissance town gates from  
1593.
