Attractions on the Dalmatian Coast
The Old Town of Trogir – A Historic Landmark on the Dalmatian Coast
The charming old town of Trogir is one of the most significant attractions on the Dalmatian coast. As a UNESCO World Heritage site and architectural gem, it showcases over 2,000 years of history – from the Greeks and Romans to the Venetians.
The old town is picturesquely located on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo, impressing visitors with its narrow, cobblestone streets, Romanesque churches, and Venetian palaces. A particular highlight is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, famous for its masterful Romanesque portal by Radovan.
Trogir is perfect for a day trip and also serves as an ideal starting point for boat tours along the Dalmatian coast, to the Blue Lagoon, or to nearby islands. For anyone seeking historic attractions in Dalmatia, Trogir is a must-visit.
The Old Town of Split with Diocletian’s Palace – An Ancient Landmark on the Dalmatian Coast
Split, the largest city in Dalmatia, is not only an urban center but also home to one of the most impressive attractions on the Dalmatian coast: Diocletian’s Palace. This well-preserved structure from late antiquity was built around 300 AD by the Roman Emperor Diocletian – originally as his retirement residence, and today forming the heart of the old town.
The palace complex is remarkable because it is not a standalone monument but a living neighborhood. Within its walls, there are apartments, cafés, shops, and religious sites – a fascinating blend of history and modern life.
The old town of Split itself offers a variety of other attractions: from the Peristyle to the Temple of Jupiter, and the waterfront promenade Riva, which is particularly inviting for evening strolls. Anyone interested in cultural landmarks on the Dalmatian coast should definitely include Split on their travel itinerary.
