Trogir

Trogir is a historic city and harbour on the Adriatic coast in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia, with a population of 10,818 and a complete municipal population of 13,260. The historical metropolis of Trogir is located on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the island of Ciovo. It lies 27 kilometres west of the town of Split. In the third century BC, Tragurion was based by means of Greek colonists from the island of Vis, and it evolved into a first-rate port until the Roman period. The call comes from the Greek tragos male goat. Similarly, the call of the neighbouring island of Bua comes from the Greek voua herd of farm animals.

The sudden prosperity of Salona disadvantaged Trogir of its significance. During the migration of Croats the citizens of the destroyed Salona escaped to Trogir. Initially the Roman Tragurium was one of the Dalmatian City-States. From the 9th century on, Trogir paid tribute to Croatian rulers and to the Byzantine empire. The diocese of Trogir changed into hooked up within the 11th century abolished in 1828; it is now part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Split-Makarska and has temporarily been a Latin titular bishopric and in 1107 it become chartered by way of the Hungarian-Croatian king Coloman, gaining as a consequence its autonomy as a city.
