Radošević Palace

  View photo gallery

This palace once notably dominated the port of Vis, facing it with its longer northern façade. Well-proportioned and built over two-storeys, the building has the form of an elongated rectangle, oriented east-west.

It was built by Hvar noble Frane Radošević in the 17th century, but according to some documents, Radošević family members had had properties in the Vis village of Luka since 16th century.

On the first floor of the palace on the façade is a long balcony and over it, on the second floor, there are three smaller ones. All balconies were proportionally and delightfully constructed and fenced with lovely small stone pillars and were even adorned on the lower side with relief carved floral motifs with butterflies and shells.

On the central board of the balcony there is a relief coat of arms representing a parading Lion with a sword in its paw. The initials of the constructor Frane Radošević are also engraved into the coat of arms. In the southern wing of the palace there are two smaller balconies of the same tye as those on the northern wing.

The Radošević Palace is a combination of a summer house and a city palace whilst its architecture represents a complex but very nice baroque architectonic composition.
