Trogir
History
Trogir was founded
by the Greeks as one of the Adriatic colonies in the 3rd century
BC. It became a one of the major ports until the Roman times.
During the Roman period because of the sudden prosperity of
Salona Trogir has lost its importance.
During the migration of Slavs the citizens of the Salona escaped
to Trogir. From the 9th century on, Trogir paid tribute to Croatian
rulers. The diocese of Trogir was established in the 11th century
(abolished in 1828) and in 1107 Hungarian-Croatian king Coloman,
gave Trogir its autonomy as a town.
In 1123 Trogir was conquered and almost completely demolished
by the Saracens. Trogir recovered in a short period to experience
powerful economic prosperity in the 12th and the 13th centuries.
In 1242 King Béla IV found refuge there as he fled the
Tatars. In the 13th and the 14th centuries, members of the Šubic
family were the dukes of Trogir. In 1420 the period of a long-term
Venetian rule began.
In 1797, Trogir became a part of the Habsburg Empire which ruled
over the city until 1918, with the exception of French occupation
from 1806 to 1814. After the World War I, Trogir, together with
Croatia, became a part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and
Serbs and subsequently the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During World
War II, Trogir was occupied by Italy and liberated in 1944.
Since then it belonged to the Yugoslavia, and from 1991 to Croatia.
