Old City, Split, Croatia

The former town hall on Narodni trg in Split's Old Town is a protected cultural monument that bears witness to architecture from the Gothic period through the Neo-Gothic style. Originally built in the 14th century and expanded up to the 19th century, the building once served as the center of city administration. After neighboring palaces were demolished in the 19th century, it underwent a thorough restoration in the Neo-Gothic style, though parts of its original Romanesque-Gothic character were preserved. After a period as an ethnographic museum, the building now hosts rotating exhibitions. Together with the Chapel of St. Lawrence, it forms an architectural ensemble that reflects both the sacred and secular building history of the medieval city.
