Renting Car in Seget Donji

The original name of the city is Tragurion, which in Greek means “the place where the goats graze”. During the rule of the Romans here, the city developed quite successfully, although it remained in the shadow of the more powerful Split. Many retired legionaries lived in Trogir. To this day, on the territory of the city, one can find the remains of the villas, thermaes, statues, and stells, including those praising Bacchus. The city was under the rule of Byzantium, and under the control of the Hungarians, Franks, Venetians, and Turks. You can see the artifacts left by each of these cultures in the city museum of Trogir, located in an 18th- century mansion that once belonged to a noble Venetians family Garazhnin.

In the old town, the Romanesque architecture is quite harmoniously adjacent to the Baroque and Renaissance architecture. The most interesting pattern of mixing styles is the Chapel of St. John of Trogir, located at the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. The cathedral itself was built in the 13th century on the site of an early Christian basilica, destroyed during the attack of the Saracens. A wooden 13th-century carved portal and benches and the 15th-century crucifix, which can be seen by any visitor of the cathedral, are considered to be a true work of medieval carving. The chapel, built by the disciple of Donatello, Niccolo Florentine, is a tier-like mixture of styles, which were popular in the 15th century – Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance.
