Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Trogir

The church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Trogir is located in the Pasike area, in Split-Dalmatia County. It is a good destination for those who, besides the main historic centre of the town, want to see lesser-known sacred buildings. It was built in 1618 on the site of an older church.

It has a rectangular ground plan with a square apse of regularly hewn stone, and the main façade faces east. On the plastered façade are a portal with a profiled stone frame and a rosette, and the top is closed by a slightly curved gable. The bell tower rises over the right part of the façade. On the north side are a side entrance to the nave and the entrance to the sacristy. Inside are valuable altars: on the main one is a painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel by Konstantin Zane from 1658, on the south a gilded wooden altar of the Mother of God with the Child from the 16th century, and on the north St Francis of Paola from the 17th century.

The church is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-1412.
