Overview
Step back in time on this captivating shore excursion that blends the grandeur of ancient history with the timeless beauty of medieval architecture.
Your journey begins in Solin at the extraordinary archaeological site of Salona, once the thriving capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. Long before the rise of Split, Salona was home to nearly 40,000 inhabitants during the 3rd and 4th centuries. As you explore its impressive ruins, your guide will bring the past vividly to life, revealing stories behind the temples, amphitheaters, early Christian basilicas, baths, and ancient burial grounds that shaped daily life in this remarkable city.
After immersing yourself in Roman history, enjoy a scenic drive along the breathtaking “Riviera of the Seven Castles,” where coastal views and charming settlements set the tone for your next destination. You’ll arrive in the enchanting town of Trogir, a UNESCO-listed gem often described as a living museum.
Within Trogir’s medieval walls, discover a treasure trove of architectural wonders, from elegant palaces and serene monasteries to fortified towers and picturesque stone houses. As you wander through its narrow cobblestone streets and intimate squares on a guided walking tour, you’ll visit the magnificent Cathedral of St. Lovre. Here, admire the exquisite Romanesque portal crafted by master sculptor Radovan in 1240, a true highlight of Croatian artistry. Along the way, your guide will share captivating insights into Trogir’s rich Venetian heritage and the cultural influences that have shaped its unique character.
Following the guided tour, enjoy leisure time to soak in the atmosphere at your own pace.
Whether you choose to sample the local delicacy rafiol, indulge in a refreshing gelato, or unwind with a coffee in a charming café, Trogir offers the perfect setting to relax and explore. For those wishing to continue their culinary journey, your guide will be happy to recommend a local restaurant where you can savor authentic regional flavors.
