Loggia
Clock tower and loggia on the Cathedral square, Trogir. The loggia was a public court of justice in the Venetian period.
"Opposite the Cathedral, to the S., is the Loggia, with antique columns and a modern ceiling".--Baedeker 1911. EE1975254p1 Trogir exhibits strong architectural evidence of its association with the Venetian Republic through the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, the Camerlengo Castle overlooking the harbor and an interesting Italian-style loggia in the cathedral square. Despite Greek and Roman beginnings, Trogir was destroyed in the 12th century. Most of the historic old city dates from the 13th century forward.
The Historic City of Trogir was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997.
Zadar was a Roman town, though its origins date further back than that. Its history since Medieval times has largely been influenced by Italy, especially by the Venetian Republic. Despite being a heavily contested site throughout history, Roman ruins remain standing in Zadar as do pre-Romanesque and Romanesque churches.
From Zadar, we turned inland, crossing the rough-hewn Dinaric Alps on the way to Plitvice Lakes National Park.
