The Large Papalić Palace
Velika Papalićeva palača
The Late Gothic palace that was put up in the mid-15th century by the patrician Split Papalić family, who entrusted the construction to George of Dalmatia and his workshop. It was a place that in its time hosted the meeting of the Split Humanist Circle. With a richly decorated portal, loggia, well and external staircase in the courtyard, with its large salon, painted ceiling and four-light mullioned window on the first floor, it was a model for all Split palaces in the second half of the 15th century. Since its renovation in 1950, it has housed the Split City Museum.
