ABOUT TINEL LONGO
The house where Tinel Longo stands was built in the 17th century by family Hrabar Longo, and has been in their family ever since. It had three stages of construction during the ages which can be seen in the structure differences of the stone through the floors. The house is a part of Trogir’s “B” zone of culture protection. It was fully renovated in 2016th with the complete reconstruction of the roof.
Family Hrabar Longo where considered one of the first trade people in Trogir, so earlier through the ages, the ground floors where used as a storage room (the door on the left next to the street stairs) and as a tavern (the door on the right next to the street stairs). If we should point out two impressive things about the house that would be a large terrace that extends on 50 m2, and the view on Cathedral of St. Lawrence. Combination of the terrace and it’s peace and quiet is even more impressive if you considered that you are in the centre of Trogir, only few minutes away from the main square.
The history of the house can also be seen in some of its interior furniture. For example, the cabinet placed on the ground floor belonged to owner’s great-grandmother, but was build even earlier. The stone sink on the terrace is old as the house itself, it was originally used as a kitchen sink in the house but was replaced and restored during the renovation of 2016th. The roof, the blinds, the beams and the front door where replaced with brand new ones but all made using traditional tools.
