“Trogir can be reached either by boat, for it lies at the other end of the sea of Solin, or by motor-bus, along the road of the Seven Castles. Trogir, like all the cities along the coast, had a chequered history, but, until it fell into the hands of Venice, it was an entirely Hungarian town. The great sight of Trogir is the cathedral and, of that cathedral, the Galilee Porch, or Narthex, is the great glory (pp. 120-121).

Outside the city gate and attached to the wall is the picturesque fish-market. One visitor to Trogir complained that the little town could not provide her with anything but a cup of inferior coffee in 1929, but Mr Horatio Brown seems to have eaten excellent fish at Tironi’s restaurant in 1925. These be small matters, compared to the great sight that we have seen in the cathedral, and that has, I trust, fed our souls (p. 123)”.
