TROGIR CROATIA

History of Trogir starts in the 3rd century BC, when Greeks founded what was then Tragurion. Until the Roman era Tragurion developed in one of the main ports, but with the development of Salona, Trogir looses its importance. During migration of Slavic tribes, the residents of destroyed Salona escaped to Trogir, and from the 9th century Trogir falls under Croatian rule.
In the year 1107 by the certificate of Croatian-Hungarian king Koloman, Trogir gained its autonomy, but the Saracens attacked it already in 1123. Still, after it recovered it continued developing through the 12th, the 13th and the 14th century. In the 15th century starts a long period of Venetian rule that lasts until the 18th century when Trogir falls under Habsburg dynasty.
During World War II Trogir was occupied by Italy, it was freed in 1944. After this it becomes a part of Yugoslavia, and since 1991 a part of Croatian Republic.
