Old City Hall

The Old City Hall, located on the People’s Square (Pjaca), was built and expanded between the 14^th and 19^th centuries. It is the surviving part of a distinctive Gothic complex that once served as the seat of secular authority in medieval Split. Some of its original Romanesque-Gothic features remain, though it was extensively remodelled in the Neo-Gothic style after the Communal and Rector’s Palaces were demolished in 1825. Over the years, it has housed the city council and, from 1910 to 1925, the Ethnographic Museum; today it serves as a cultural centre and exhibition space.

Together with the Chapel of St Lawrence, the Old City Hall forms a cohesive ensemble and is listed as an immovable cultural monument, enjoying protected status under Croatian law.
