TROGIR (Croatia): Episode 2 - Old Town at Night

One of the tourist spots in the Old Town is the imposing Kamerlengo fortress. It got its name from the city treasurer and got its recognisable image during Venetian rule. The walls are located in the south-western part and it was built from 1420 to 1437. Its main purpose was to accommodate the Venetian army fleet. Nowadays it is a unique location for the different events and concerts.

Because of its lovely old town area, Trogir was and still is used as a film set for different movies and shows. Orson Welles filmed in 1969 “The Merchant of Venice”. More recently, Trogir was a filming set for HBO shows – the extremely famous Game of Thrones, for example.

The size of the tourist crowd was bearable during day time although it was more enjoyable at night when the crowd has thinned down.

Trogir has long been a celebrity destination. Many people know that George Bernard Shaw, Wallis Simpson, Edward VIII and Prince Charles visited Trogir and loved it. In more recent history, Trogir is an annual destination for Bernie Ecclestone and royals like Caroline of Monaco.
