Protected by UNESCO, Croatia villages Trogir and Split are two outstanding historical sites featuring ancient architecture dating back to the fourth century. Trogir, the closer of the two, is known for its mixture of Romanesque, baroque, and Renaissance buildings. The village inhabits a small island connected to the mainland by a bridge. Split is a little further, about thirty-kilometers, and resides on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast. Famous for its beaches, bars, cafes, and restaurants, all within white stone walls erected by the Roman Emperor, Split's Diocletian's Palace is an amazing place to spend an afternoon.
