Cathedral of Trogir

Cathedral of Trogir

The Cathedral of Trogir is located in the ancient town of Trogir, Croatia, and is a pearl of this small city. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site — the Historic City of Trogir.

The architectural style of the Cathedral of Trogir is a mix of Romanesque and Gothic. The cathedral has three naves and was constructed on the ruins of an ancient Christian church that was destroyed during an Arab invasion. Its construction began in the 12th century, and the most finely crafted part is the portal, completed in 1240. It is one of the masterpieces of the renowned local architect Radovan and also the largest sculptural work in the country. The portal depicts scenes from the Bible and the birth of Christ; on the other side, there are two lions with Adam and Eve seated atop them.

The interior statues of the Cathedral of Trogir are exquisitely detailed, and the ceiling decorations are richly colorful, with vivid depictions of the image of God portrayed in the ceiling patterns. Part of the cathedral is open to visitors free of charge, but access to the bell tower and panoramic views requires an additional fee.
