This palace in the Baroque style with the characteristic sequence of round openings for shops on the principle elevation and its re-utilised Renaissance portal on the western elevation was put up in the early 18th century by the wealthy commercial family of Milesi, once they had acquired the status of urban patricians. The grandeur of the modeling of the elevation and the dramatic position on the square pick it out from among the Baroque palaces in Split and Dalmatia. Today it houses the Split section of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
