- AlbertSalichsManresa, Spain22,068 contributionsVery beautiful views of old townFortress Kamerlengo is located in a.side in the old town of Trogir, a Venetian-style town near Split, in Dalmatian Coast. It is a very nice and little fortress, which you can visit and especially go up to the some towers. From here, you can see very nice views of the old town and the sea. Really very beautiful.

- CatharineBOttawa, Canada1,641 contributionsOld Venetian FortPerched at the edge of the Riva, Kamerlengo Castle offers sweeping vistas of Trogir from its historic walls and towers. Kamerlengo Castle, which was formerly the residence of the Venetian governor. Built by the Venetians around 1430, facing the sea, it has a four-sided structure with a hexagonal base. Its high walls connect the three towers and the bastion. Venice, which at that time had the rule over most of the Dalmatian coast, built similar fortresses in other towns. This imposing building was connected to the Tower of São Marcos. The large open-air space inside the castle is used for theatrical performances and concerts during the summer months. For a small fee, one can climb to the top to take in stunning views of orange rooftops, waterfront promenade down below, and majestic mountains in the distance. The climb took around 10 minutes and although the stairs were a little tough at the times, it was worth the effort and money.Visited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 27, 2023
- michmccainIndian Land, South Carolina50 contributionsTraveling the Dalmatian Coast to TrogirFascinating mid-15th century castle located off the Adriatic in the town of Tragir. The view from the top of the fortress was amazing. I could see how beautiful Trogir is from the 360 degrees view. About a 10 to 15 minute tour of the castle, I then strolled a short distance to restaurant row along the boardwalk. Pick a place to sit near the water and experience why it’s known as Croatian Venice!Visited September 2023Traveled with friendsWritten September 29, 2023
- Eva TUnited Kingdom4,688 contributionsGreat view from the topIt is situated at the end of Trogir's Promenade and the entry is Euro 5/person. The lady at the ticket office said it has narrow steep stairs so because I had knee problem only my husband went in. There is nothing to see inside but from the top is great view on the old town, opposite island Ciovo and generally all around.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 2, 2023
- Bulag105 contributionsLike Trogir simple and funLarger castles have more but like Trogir, well laid out and not nearly as busy as Dubrovnik and Split. Can take a few minutes to see or better, enjoy the views and read its history. There is a nice film on it as well.Visited June 2024Traveled with friendsWritten June 12, 2024

Quite aside from its history, this 15th-century castle/fortress is also interesting because of its imposing architecture. However, its juxtaposition with a football pitch tends to dilute the imagination as to what life there might once have been like.
The castle/fortress was locked up tighter than a drum when I was there [January 2022], but a peek through the keyhole suggested that the interior was nothing special: a rather rundown open courtyard with a staircase going up to walkways around the walls.
Certainly lovely to look at the exterior, especially on a bright sunny day!

At the end of the Riva in Trogir you come across this fortress which dates back to the 15th century. It’s not very big but the exterior walls are pretty complete There did not seem to be a lot inside other than the opportunity for view the old town and surrounds from a height so we chose to get our view from the Cathedral’s bell tower. That being said its worth a look, even for the outside.

Dominating the end of the island on which Trogir's old city is located, the fort is closed for the season. So, you cannot go inside right now. But it is still worth a visit simply for pictures of and with the outer walls. Somewhat frustrating for tourists, there is a soccer field right next to the fortress making it hard to take complete pictures but that is not a big deal!! Visit. It is worth it.

This is a partially ruined fortification next to the old town of Trogir. There are some nice views from the walls but you cannot climb to the top of the tower and there isn't anything there except the walls. It is work a stop if you have the time and don't mind paying for the ticket but there are far better views, fortresses, and castles if you are limited on time or money.

First thing we did was visit the Fortress Kamerlengo. You will climb up the stairs and follow the perimeter walls where you will wait for other tourists to clear the way for you to take pictures. The views are quite nice and the visit is not too expensive. No exhibits of interests inside. Would make a great venue for a trance party though.
Try to go off hours to maximize your time running into other people.
Average visit, worth a picture or two. Move on.

Unfriendly cashier as well as too high entrance fee. The view from the tower of the fortress is magnificent - but that is the only highlight. The area itself is not worth seeing. The fortress did not live up to our expectations.
If you want to pay a lot of money for a great view, go for it.
However, I do not recommend the visit.

Old fortress built by the Venetians back in 11th to 14th century as far as I remember. The big tower with a stunning view is the oldest part of the area. Not much for children, but there are great trampolines outside the castle.

Does anyone know how late the Kamerlengo Fortress is open? I will be visiting Split in late September and don't know if I'll be able to get there during the daylight. If it closes after dark, is it still possible to climb to the top or at least walk around the exterior? Thanks for any info you can share!
