Trogir: Trg Ivana Pavla II - St. Lawrence’s Cathedral
Trogir is best known in Croatia for its UNESCO-listed historic core. St. Lawrence’s Cathedral dominates Trg Ivana Pavla II, the principal square of the compact old town, which occupies a small island between the mainland and Čiovo Island on the Adriatic Sea. The cathedral was built mainly from the 13th to 15th centuries and is celebrated for Radovan’s Romanesque portal, dated 1240. Trogir developed as a Greek settlement and later became an important Dalmatian town under Venetian rule; its tightly layered streets, limestone houses and civic buildings preserve that long urban history. The square remains the natural meeting point at the centre of this fortified coastal town.
