English:
It was built by the High Commissioner of the Sea Giorgio Pasqualigo during the period 1718-1721. It was destroyed by bombs during the World War II and was demolished after the war. Very few traces of this building are still visible today. It was a building with three floors facing north and two in the rear side, as it followed the natural inclination of the ground; the rear side contained a two-storey colonnade. It was used for the Dalmatian soldiers of the Venetian garrison and could accommodate 1200 men.
The palace of the High Commissioner of the Sea had to be demolished to allow the construction of the Barracks of the British officers. The plans of the building were laid out in 1850 by the British military engineer Edmund Ogle. It is a long construction with a simple façade made of white stone. Like the other
