Project Outcome
Over 350 years of construction…
Construction of the Trogir Cathedral of St. St. Lawrence began in 1213 and lasted until 1589, which is why styles from Romanesque to Baroque can be seen on the building. Trogir Cathedral has the floor plan of a three-nave Romanesque basilica with three apses, and is the most monumental of all Dalmatian Romanesque churches, as it is the only one with a vault in all three naves.
The most monumental of all Dalmatian Romanesque churches…
With additions in the 14th and 15th centuries, an atrium, a baptistery in the north and a belfry in the southwest were added to the Romanesque facade. Galleries were built above the side naves, and a new rosette was added to the facade. In the 15th century, the late Gothic chapel of St. Jerome on the north side, the Renaissance chapel of St. John of Trogir and the sacristy. Numerous tombs and altars located inside the cathedral contribute to its artistic value.
