At that time, city harbour had already had a well-constructed pier that could moor a considerable number of in-coming ships. The most important factor of economic development of Split had been intensive trade with the Orient.
Therefore, in the very beginning of the 17th century, owing to the further expansion and efficiency of trade business, the lazaretto complex was enlarged and extended on two occasions, and, thus, the Split Lazaretto became the largest one on the Mediterranean coast. However, due to the War of Candia (1645-1649), the lively trade was stopped. Then the Morean War (1684-1699) soon followed and, consequently, trade business in Split returned to rather modest economic range.
