Summary
Pierre Mortier: Plan of the Trogir fortifications
The plan of the Trogir fortifications was published in Mortier's atlas “La Theater de la guerra”. This plan of Trogir appeared in circulation as early as 1695. Compared to the previously published views of Trogir (Coronelli), we see significant changes. Towards the mainland, the island on which Trogir is located was protected by three massive bastions. Fortress of St. Meanwhile, Marka is separated from the island by a sea trench. From the castle towards Čiovo, a long jetty with an opening for ships was made of stones. The port to the east was closed by a drawbridge towards the island of Čiovo. The urban structure of the city is not indicated. Namely, this is a classic fortification plan that shows only the defensive elements of the city. On Čiovo, right next to the bridge, you can see the settlement of the same name, which grew rapidly at that time. The Prince of Trogir had a court there. On the hill above the village, the people of Trogir built a small fort that defends the port of Trogir. The map is oriented to the south. The scale of the map is expressed in Venetian steps.
