The Mardešić Palace was built in the 18th century as a three-storey building with a courtyard on its northern wing. Before the coastline was built, the entrance to the fenced courtyard was from the northern wing and through a wide door on the western wing.
There was a stone fence with adorned relief corners, used as a so called ‘jerula’, a jardinière for flowers. Close to the wall were stone seats on profiled consoles whilst the stairway towards the floor, whose fence is made of delightful small stone pillars, which are situated in the southern wing of the palace.
On the first floor terrace is a well and pillars for a grape arbour. The terrace was used for collecting rainwater which flowed through the well crown, whilst in the courtyard it flowed through a relief made in the head of the ta.
All window openings were made with simple frames showing the classicistic style of the second half of the 18th century. The house has three balconies arranged on the first and second floors and fenced with small stone pillars. The façade is immured with beautifully bordered blocks whilst the house’s interior has changed greatly as, during its history, it has been used as a gendarmerie, a postal office and a school.
