Riva

The Riva, in Trogir

The Riva is the maritime promenade of Trogir, a long avenue lined with palm trees, cafés and terraces facing the Adriatic. The Trogir audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this place among the liveliest of the city, once a quay where merchants and fishermen docked, today the meeting point of strollers at sunset, with the ramparts, the palaces and the Dalmatian islands in the background.

History

Here you are on the Riva, the maritime promenade of Trogir, one of the liveliest places of the city: a long avenue lined with palm trees, cafés and terraces, that runs along the Adriatic Sea. Once, it was the quay where merchants and fishermen docked, at the heart of the commercial exchanges that made the city live. Today, you cross strollers, pleasure boats and yachts, but the atmosphere remains the same, that of a city turned towards the sea. In the evening, the Riva becomes an unmissable meeting place, where inhabitants and visitors gather to stroll at sunset, with in the background the ramparts, the palaces and the Dalmatian islands that stand out on the horizon. It is the ideal place to take the pulse of Trogir, between Mediterranean gentleness and maritime heritage, and to admire the silhouette of the old town reflected in the calm waters of the port.
