The Augubio Palace
Palača Augubio
A Late Gothic palace of the wealthy merchant, later ennobled, Giovanni Battista De Gubbio of the second half of the 15th century. It is ascribed to the circle around George of Dalmatia, and was remodeled in the Baroque. The oldest parts of the palace are actually Romanesque, as confirmed by a fresco showing a peacock that has been found on the second floor. The opulently decorated portal was modelled (sic) on the portal of the Large Papalić Palace, and the name of the original owner is carved on the lunette. The expressive stone sculpting had been identified as the work of Andrija Aleši, the most prominent master of the workshop of George of Dalmatia.
