Trogir
Trogir is a picturesque town arranged with parks where every stone is a monument and its coast is surrounded from all sides by the sea. The town was settled in the 3rd century, blit people lived in this area before. The Greek colony Tragurion was established by seamen, who came from the island Vis. Trogir was famous in the Roman Empire because of its excellent marble. A few reliefs from the antique history of Trogir are preserved like the one of Kairos (4th-3rd century B.C.) and a work, which represents a woman on a 100m (2nd_1st century B.C.) Trogir has been under the role of the Byzanthian Czar and his Exarch in Ravenna since Dalmatia became a region -a the mate of the East Roman Empire. A new population settled with the time around the town- the Croats, who wrote the second page in the history of this area. The Hungarian- Croatian king guaranteed the town an autonomy in 1107 and it was on power til1 the arrival of the Venetians. The communal autonomy based on the town statute from 1332 and the privileges of Coloman also developed in those centuries. The early Romanic church of St. Barbara from the II th century is especial1y worth to mention. The period from the 13th to 15th century represents the top of the social, economic, cultural and artistic power of Trogir. This was the time of big buildings, the improvement of the fortification system with wal1s and fortresses, which surrounded the town completely.
