Hi All,
We added two more old cities to our trip as we drove north to the Istrian Peninsula.
First stop was Trogir. The whole town is a World Heritage Site!
The centerpiece is the Cathedral of St Lawrence.
The main entrance is Radovan's Portal built in 1240 and restored in 2006.
The carved pews look both somber and uncomfortable.
Across the plaza is a chapel built in the 15th century to celebrate the town's deliverance from the plague.
This ancient fortress guards the sea approach to Trogir.
Our second stop was Zadar. It offered a mix of 4th century Roman ruins and 14th century church bell towers.
The "steps" seen here are a series of chambers where the incoming waves create "music" through vents in the walkway. An acquired taste.
One of the biggest churches is that of St Anastasia, named after our favorite Florida State Park in St Augustine ;-).
A long day but we want to make the most of our time here.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
