A Late Gothic palace of the second half of the 15th century, the design and execution of which are attributed to George of Dalmatia. The patrician family for which it was built is unidentified, although its coat of arms is to be found in the lunette of the courtyard portal. Later on it belonged to the old Split patrician family of Cindo, whose coat of arms is to be seen on a capital of the courtyard loggia. The courtyard with loggia and staircase, the first floor loggia and the elevation of the Romanesque palace looking on to Dioklecijanova Street were renovated in 1960.
