The palace was built in 1394 for the Split nobleman Cipriano de Ciprianis (C. Žaninić from the Livnc branch of the Berislavićes) who ruled Korčula on behalf of King Tvrtko of Bosnia. In 1860 it came into the hands of the Benedetti family. Particularly prominent are the two six-light mullioned windows with double columns in Late Romanesque style, a rarity in secular architecture, and the (?) of St. Anthony the Hermit, with a depiction of C. de Ciprianis as donor.
