Founded in the 3rd century BC, Salona became the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. On this first part of your tour, you’ll wander the impressive remains of the forum, amphitheatre, public baths and aqueduct, as well as the early Christian churches that sprang up in the 4th and 5th centuries. Then enjoy the sweeping view of the coast from the charming garden outside the small museum gift shop.
A scenic drive along the Riviera of the Seven Castles will bring you to the charming town and harbour of Trogir. Located on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the island of Čiovo, this cultural treasure trove is packed with palaces, churches and towers builtin the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. A stroll around the town will bring you face to face with landmarks including the three-naved, Venetian Cathedral of St. Lawrence; the Grand Cipiko Palace; and the imposing fifteenth century Kamerlengo Fortress.
