Trogir

Trogir is 'treasure of art' or 'museum town' according to the famous historian Bernard Berenson. It is logical that this locaion since the first sights of modern tourism on Croatian coast in the 19th century, represents one of the most interesting points. Apart from Bernard Berenson, once somebody said exactly that about this city calling it 'the most beautiful island in the world'. Besides – it is not said in vain that Trogir is 'happy moment city', how Kairos Zeus's son signed it.

Trogir, in the period of pretouristic age, confirmed the asumptions of world travellers – historians and writers in numerous  kept documents and publications how it is truly a jewel of European civilization and culture, with a continuous thread of life and artistic creation in a period of over two milleniums. Trogir is city that takes you over at first sight, you love it right away, in and about Trogir big loves connected to this town were created.


From antique to modern Trogir lovers

Town is mentioned by already antique and then later travellers – writers, geographers, cartographers and chroniclers: Plinije, Strabon, Ptolomej and Peuntinger, and than Byzantine emparor and writer Porfirogenet, inhabitant of Split Toma Archdeacon, Franch protohumanist Adam in the Middle Ages, and pleiad of explorers and historians in New Era; Palladio, Canaleto, Clerisseau, Jackson and others during the 16th and 17th century. It is visited by travel writers and chroniclers Spoon and Wheler(17th century) who write about it, after them, also Farlati, Cassas and Lavala and bishops Manola and Fortis (18th century) who along the city describe rustical beauties of its coast and land. It is mentioned by all who at least once visited it. UNESCO's beauty can't be forgot easily, and how would it when every rock is protected by UNESCO itself.

In the 19th and at the beginning of 20th century, Trogir marks affirmative writings of world known writers and Nobel winners Bernard Shaw, Herman Bahr and Anatol France what makes it internationally verified as an interesting cultural and touristic destination.

After Austrian emparor Franjo I.Habzburški (1818.) and King of Saxony Federick August visited Trogir, it also charmes Austrian duke Maksimilian, later Mexican emparor, who sees its successful touristic future which could be seen in including Trogir in itinerary along Adriatic steamboat coast line of Austrian Loyd from Trst (1862.)

Visit of emparor Franjo Josip in 1874 marked the beginning of serious activities in revitalization of touristic resurses, especially historical heritage and objects of communal infrastructure and public institutions as preconditions of touristic and economical development in general.

Opening of the first touristical object (restaurant – board and lodging Tomić) with bedrooms in 1893, and then in 1906. first town hotels Bellevue and Central, is the proof of more and more often visits to Trogir.
At the Adriatic exibition in Wiena in 1912, Trogir's turistical and cultural potentials were effectively showed by a city square model and by the fragments of Radovan's portal as an indication of more intensive touristical and marketing activities that came after publishing 'Guide for passangers', and guide 'Trogir and its monuments' (1925) under the publication of Traveller's agency in Split.
