40-Treasure of Čiovo

When visiting old towns, one of the favourite, but at the same time the simplest, activities is to let yourself proceed along the streets discovering the buildings built in them. When it comes to the historical core of the town of Trogir, where every building tells its own story, a stroll along the streets suddenly takes on a new dimension. Surrounded by the sea, and anchored between the mainland and the island of Čiovo, the old town core, listed in 1997 on the UNESCO World Heritage List, hides attractive sights. Ćipiko Palace, Lucić Palace, St. Lawrence’s Cathedral, St. Dominic’s church and monastery as well as a number of smaller churches are just some of the historical buildings that turn the tour into a trip to another era.
If the numerous churches of the old town of Trogir have interested you into further research, there are at least as many more in the surrounding area. Given that the history of Čiovo preserves the tradition of hermits, who recorded traces of the former network of small churches here. The Čiovo hermits, who fled from the world, most often lived next to them. The St. Maurus’s church near the village of Žedno is particularly interesting. Built on an ancient settlement, in a somewhat less accessible location in the very heart of the island, this little church will quench the thirst of even the most curious explorers.
