Equally lovely by day and at night when the restaurants set out tables and chairs in the squares and courtyards of the walled city. South facing Promenade where the cruise ships and super yachts pull up was best avoided for food as the quality of food and the character of the restaurants within the walled city were both a lot better.
2. The St. Lawrence Cathedral

The Cathedral, called St. John among local citizens, is the highest building in Trogir, dominating the area.
Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom
This is of course the centrepiece of the main square, and indeed the town itself. An impressive structure completed in the late 13th century, the views from the top are good too, although the climb is not for the faint hearted. The Cathedral itself has the usual array of frescos and ornate ceilings, which I am sure for those who study these things contain much symbolism - I am not one of these. Still, you can admire the artwork.

Trogir is as others have said, a charming little town with much to see and do. Wandering around the narrow streets and the waterfront one can observe life in action, with visitors sipping coffee and locals hawking their wares, trying to entice you into their shops. The focal point for the town is of course the main square where the most important buildings are to be found - these include the Cathedral, the tourist information office and of course the town hall and clock. There is also a small museum (closed on Sundays when I visited).
The square is a great place to get your bearings and to sit and relax with a coffee or something stronger. Several cafes and restaurants can be found here. Of course it lacks the atmosphere of the larger squares of eastern European cities, but nevertheless has a charm of its own.

99% of the reviews and photos on this location are incorrect and posted to the wrong site. An easy mistake once someone put up the first wrong photo.
St Michael's bell tower is a small tower on the other side of the island near the Kamerlengo fortress. it's a fraction of the height of the tower attached to St Lawrence. It's also not possible to climb it or go inside. It's worth a photo and that's it.
To find walk west along the south side of the island towards the fortress.
just before the fortress Turn right and you'll see the tower

Ante Batarelo guided our group of Prinsendam cruisers, which was organized on Cruise Critic Rollcall months before the cruise, through the lovely streets of Trogir to the City Hall. The ceiling is covered with interesting paintings like rondures. The view of the Central Square from the porch is worth a few photos. For our listening pleasure, a Cappella of four men enhanced the view of the square by performing Traditional Dalmatian Singing.

Would recommend going through the gate to the few craft stalls. They sell some lovely handmade gifts which my family enjoyed. The setting is also nice and makes for some good pictures when it is not busy.
7. Fortress Kamerlengo

Reviewed By seebeforeigo - Chester England
It's worth the small entrance fee c£3 just to climb up to the top of the main turret to get a superb panoramic view of Trogir and the surrounding landscape. It's a reasonable climb which might not suit everybody but worth the effort. The walk around the top of the fortress gives alternative views but not the comprehensive panoramic views.
A bit of a nothing without the views with not much else to see, so if you can't climb steps and are not keen on heights perhaps give this a miss and avoid the disappointment I have seen expressed by others.
8. St. Dominic Monastery

The Church and Monastery of St. Dominic is a beautiful and old place. The church is small but lovely. Both interior and exterior are simple, but interesting. It's a very peaceful and nice place. Well kept. The belfry is gorgeous. This monastery it's very easy to find since it's on the Promenade.
A number of valuable artworks can be found in the monastic collection. Worth some time. The monastery museum is small and modest, but the items are ancient and interesting. You'll have a nice walk surrounded by nature, ancient columns, and more. The monastery has been recently renovated. Definitely, give it a try.

I enjoyed this most lovely palace balcony with the arches, the flag of Croatia and the flowers hanging down. I took some magazine quality photos--and not because I am a good photographer.

We were thinking we could have skipped the Cathedral and were feeling a bit gypped for paying to get in. It's a pretty plan Cathedral. Great door but you can see that without paying. And then we hit this chapel and immediately were satisfied.
This chapel has number of sculptures and some nice marble work on the floor. The vaulted ceilings and reliefs are reminiscent of roman temples.
It was the most impressive site we saw in Trogir.
