Trogir is a historic town and harbour on the Dalmatian coast whose old part stands on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the island of Čiovo, about 15 km west of Split in a straight line. Its historic centre has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 for its Venetian architecture. Greek settlers from the island of Vis founded the town in the 3rd century BC as Tragurion, a name meaning «goat hill», and it became an important port up to Roman times. Centuries of changing rule followed, and each era left its mark on the buildings, from Romanesque to Gothic to Renaissance. Inside the walls narrow stone lanes open onto a square with the cathedral and its tall bell tower, the town hall and the old loggia. Along the waterfront runs the Riva, a palm-lined promenade with yachts moored in front, and at its western end stands the crenellated stone Kamerlengo fortress from the 15th century. Visitors wander the lanes and the Riva and climb the walls of Kamerlengo fortress for a view over the town and harbour. The town is close to Split airport, and boats link it with Split in summer.
