Trogir, Croatia

From Split we took a day trip to Trogir, an ancient island city about a half hour up the coast. The island is pretty small. We spent about 5 hours there, which was enough time to see all the major attractions.

Like most old cities we've seen so far, Trogir is surrounded by a wall with numerous gates:



Cathedral of St. Lawrence:



Cool ceiling:







Interesting side altar:





We were also able to walk to the top of the bell tower. There were signs at the bottom indicating climbing was at your own risk, and that children under 14 were not allowed. We figured it was a liability thing, but the climb was actually pretty scary! Really tight stairs, crappy railings, people going up and down trying to get around each other. The view at the top was worth the climb, but it was definitely an adventure!

Half way up:



I tried to take a picture of the stairs. However, it's hard to see here how low the banisters are, how tight these are, and the worst part (slippery stone steps at the top) is not pictured.



View from the top:





Back on solid ground:



We also saw the citadel at the tip of the island (complete with kiddie trampolines):



Us looking silly at the top (but no sunburn since Mexico!):

And one more old church:
