June 3, 2022 - Trogir's Batarija football pitch is unique in that it is bordered on three sides by protected cultural monuments - the Kamerlengo Fortress and St. Mark's Fortress on the north and south sides, and the hexagonal stone monument Marmont's Gloriette to the west.
Batarija is the home of the Trogir Football Club, founded in 1912, reports Slobodna Dalmacija.
The unique location and surroundings of Batarija were recognized by the world-famous Cwmni Da production company, which in its four-episode series "The World's Greatest Sporting Arenas" included Batarija where, in addition to the stadium and its unique surroundings, they filmed NK Trogir against NK Omladinac from Vranjica.
Thus, Batarija found itself in the company of some of the most famous stadiums in the world, such as Anfield in Liverpool, Croke Park in Dublin, Olympic Stadium in Seoul, Sapporo Dome in Japan, and many others.
From Korea to the US, Germany, and India, through programs as long as four hours, the story of some of the most prominent sports venues in the world will be told. With dramatic recordings and the greatest production value, the production team travels the world to get to know these spectacular locations.
On their journey, they will discover each stadium's culture, history, architecture, and design and meet the people who bring these great arenas to life. This four-episode series is sponsored by BBC ALBA, S4C, TG4, South Korea's JTV, and China's LIC. The Trogir Tourist Board assisted the production in filming the location and provided other technical and logistical support.
This new series thus positions Trogir high on the list of popular film destinations. Thanks to its unique cultural value, Trogir is an excellent destination for film tourism, and the Tourist Board will continue to work on activities to promote the value of Trogir while attracting and assisting foreign film productions during filming in Trogir.
