The Iron Gate Palace
The remains of this Late Gothic palace of the mid-15th century, which suffered numerous remodellings, (sic) are ascribed to the workshop of George of Dalmatia. Of the one-time grand palace, the portal on the first floor and the half-column with capital of the courtyard loggia still remain. In the northern wall of the courtyard, two antique heads of the period of the Tetrarchs have been built in; they probably once belonged to the statues that adorned the Iron Gate of Diocletian's Palace. The elevation looking onto the square (Pjaca) is in the Renaissance style, rebuilt in the 19th century. Since 1999, the Split Literary Circle has occupied the palace.
