1
Ancient Salona
Guests will explore the ruins of ancient Salona, once the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and one of the most important cities on the eastern Adriatic. The guide will explain how Salona developed into a major Roman urban centre with city walls, gates, streets, public buildings, residential areas and an impressive amphitheatre.
Special attention will be given to Salona’s early Christian heritage, including cemeteries, basilicas, martyrs and bishops who made the city an important religious centre before the rise of medieval Split. Depending on time and accessibility, the visit may include Manastirine, Tusculum, the Episcopal Centre, the theatre area and views of the amphitheatre.
This stop gives guests a deeper understanding of Roman Dalmatia, early Christianity and the historical connection between ancient Salona and the later development of Split and the surrounding region.

On the way between Salona and Trogir, guests will pass through the Kaštela area without a scheduled stop. The guide will briefly introduce the story of the seven historic Kaštela settlements, built along the bay between Split and Trogir. Guests will hear how this coastal area developed around fortified residences, local communities, vineyards and trade routes. This scenic drive adds local context to the journey and helps connect Roman Salona with medieval Trogir and the wider history of the Split region.

Guests will explore the historic town of Trogir, one of the most beautiful medieval towns on the Adriatic coast. Built on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo, Trogir is known for its narrow stone streets, elegant squares, noble palaces, churches and relaxed waterfront atmosphere.
The guided walk begins near the North Gate and continues toward the main square, where guests will see the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence and the famous Radovan Portal from the outside, together with the town loggia, clock tower and surrounding historic buildings. The guide will explain Trogir’s development from antiquity through the Middle Ages and its importance as a centre of trade, art and architecture.
The tour continues through the old streets toward the waterfront promenade and the area around Kamerlengo Fortress. This stop offers a rich and relaxed introduction to Trogir’s history, architecture and local character.
