Trogir and its historical monuments were included in 1998 in the UNESCO register of places that may be considered part of the world's cultural heritage.It is a lively and picturesque Mediterranean town situated in Dalmatia, on the sunny and warm Adriatic coast.

The story about this town began more than 2000 years ago with the Greek colonisation. Trogir can be called ''town - museum'' because each stone and each house have their own importance for a specific historical period.

From the beginning of the town numerous monumental and impressive works of art have been made: a Greek relief with the figure of Kairos, ''deity of propitious moment'' or the portal of the Cathedral carved by master Radovan (in the 13 th century), his helpers and followers. Among the monuments of Trogir St. Laurence's cathedral, or as people call it St. John's, built in Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles, is one of the most significant. But there are also many others: the Communal palace, tower with the town clock, town loggia, the large and small Čipiko palaces and lots of churches, towers, palaces and works of art.

Rich history of this town, full of fascinating events and fantastic legend, is still carved in the stone face of the town. If you walk through Trogir, you will touch past and present, reality and dream.
