Rector´s palace * The loggia of the Rector´s palace. The building is an fusion of Gothic and Renaissance flavors. The palace was destroyed a few times by nearby explosions of the gunpowder magazine. It was rebuilt by Onofrio della Cave between 1436 and 1442 in Gothic style, just to see it being severly damaged again in 1463. The Renaissance flavor was introduced by Florentine architect Michelozzo Michelozzi. The Korčula stones withstood the 1667 earthquake. * 782 x 600 * (118KB)
