Marmont's Gloriette

Trogir


Right at the western tip of Trogir island, this elegant gazebo was built by the French during the Napoleonic occupation of Dalmatia. At the time it jutted out into a marshy lagoon and Marshal Marmont used to sit within the circle of columns, surrounded by water, and play cards.
