Cathedral of St Lawrence, Trogir

Next was a visit to the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence, also known as Trogir Cathedral. There are a large number of churches in Trogir but this was the only one open to visit. Many are now homes and businesses.

Construction on the Cathedral began in the 13th century, however it took several centuries to complete it resulting in it’s mixed architectural style which includes Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.

I especially loved the sculpted entrance, commonly referred to as Radovan's Portal (named after its sculptor, 13th-century Croatian Master Radovan). It is so detailed and intricate and it is mind blowing to imagine how they mastered such fine details in stone and marble. Truely impressive.

The interior of the chapel was also impressive with its beautiful chapels and the collection of valuable religious art and artefacts.Læs mere
