Palača Radošević u Hvaru

Radošević Palace was created between 1670 and 1688 by transforming a row of medieval Gothic houses. It was built by the commoner Radošević family, which aspired to noble status, and later belonged to the Lupi and Dojmi families. The northern façade is marked by Baroque openings, shallow balconies and a terrace above the street, while an early-fifteenth-century Gothic arch is incorporated into the frontage. Inside, traces of both Gothic and Baroque structures survive. Because the palace forms part of Hvar's dense historic fabric, it is best appreciated while walking, comparing its façade with other residences and houses around Pjaca and the neighbouring streets.
