Trogir is a historic port town on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, founded as Tragurion by Syracusan Greek colonists around 385 BC. Situated on a small island between the mainland and Ciovo island, it preserves an exceptional urban continuity from its Hellenistic street grid through Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, and later periods. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence, begun around 1200, features Master Radovan's celebrated west portal completed in 1240. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, Trogir is considered the best-preserved Romanesque-Gothic complex in Central Europe.
