Trogir Cathedral in Croatia is the largest and most famous of all the churches in the city.
It was built on the site of a pagan temple, the ruins of which can be found in the eastern part of the cathedral. The temple was erected in honor of St. John the Baptist, and its interior decoration was richly decorated with many icons and sculptures.
