Split Shore Excursion: Klis Fortress & Trogir UNESCO Old Town

Trogir’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture. Wander its narrow cobblestone streets to discover Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance treasures, then enjoy the stunning waterfront and charming squares that capture the essence of Dalmatian history and atmosphere.

Trogir’s main square is the heart of the Old Town, surrounded by centuries of history. Dominating the square is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, a masterpiece of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Elegant Renaissance and Baroque palaces frame the square, once home to Trogir’s noble families. The historic City Loggia, with its arcades and stone carvings, served as a meeting place and symbol of civic life.

Trogir’s waterfront promenade, or Riva, is a lively walkway lined with palm trees and cafés. It offers stunning views of the harbor, historic walls, and moored yachts. By day or night, the Riva is the perfect spot to soak up the charm and coastal atmosphere of this UNESCO town.

Pantana, just outside Trogir, is a historic wetland area once vital for local trade and agriculture. Its stone watermills, dating back to medieval times, harnessed the river’s flow to grind grain for the surrounding communities. Today, the restored mills offer a glimpse into centuries-old craftsmanship set amid a rich natural habitat. During your visit, enjoy a glass of both red and white local wine in this serene and historic setting (included in the price).

Klis Fortress is a historic stronghold overlooking the city of Split, strategically positioned to guard the inland routes. Built in the medieval period, it played a crucial role in defending against Ottoman invasions. The fortress offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the Adriatic Sea. It also gained fame as the filming location for the fictional city of Meereen in the popular TV series Game of Thrones. Visiting Klis provides a unique blend of history, culture, and stunning natural scenery.
