The city's historic core is on the UNESCO world heritage list.

Trogir history

Trogir was founded by Greek colonists from the island of Vis in the 3rd century BC, and it developed into a major port in the Roman period. Sudden prosperity of Salona deprived Trogir of its importance. During the migration of Slavs the citizens of the destroyed Salona escaped to Trogir. From the 9th century Trogir was paying tribute to the Croatian rulers. The diocese of Trogir was established in the 11th century (abolished in 1828) and in 1107 it was chartered by the Hungarian-Croatian king Coloman, gaining thus its autonomy as a town.

In 1123 it was conquered and almost completely demolished by the Saracens. However, Trogir recovered in a short period to experience a powerful economic prosperity in the 12th and the 13th centuries. In 1242 King Bela IV found refuge there as he was running from the Tatars. In the 13th and the 14th centuries the members of the Šubić family were most frequently elected dukes by the citizens of Trogir; Mladen III (1348), according to the inscription on the sepulchral slab in the Cathedral of Trogir, called "the shield of the Croats", was one of the most prominent Šubićs.

In 1420 the period of a long-term Venetian rule began. On the fall of Venice in 1797 Trogir became a part of Austro-Hungarian Empire which ruled over the city until the 1918, with the exception of French occupation from 1806 to 1814. After World War I, Trogir, together with Croatia, became a part of State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and subsequently Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During the World War II Trogir was occupied by Italy, and the citizens were mainly on the Allies' side and it was liberated 1944. Since then it belonged to the second Yugoslavia, and from 1991 to Croatia.
