Abstract

This paper gives an analysis of the southern sea town gate in the ancient core of Trogir. The Mannerist-style gate from 1593 features a rare example of the entirely preserved original wooden door. They were probably made in the workshop of the well-known Brač-based Bokanić family (Trifun Bokaniæ) whose members were successful builders. In an attempt to integrate all available data up to the present, the authors have analyzed town maps and written sources and added an architectural survey of the gate and its wooden door.
