Vukašinović Palace – Dojmi de Lupis

  View photo gallery

Similar to the adjacent Radošević palace, this one also dominated the port of Vis. It was built in the 17th/18th century as a two-storey building of rectangular layout.

Vukašinović Palace was inherited by Vis noble family Dojmi who, after the Vukašinović family died out in the 19th century, added their surname and become Dojmi de Lupis (de Lupis – Vukašinović).

The eastern wing of the palace is the older wing and on the northern façade of the ground floor of the palace there are small windows whilst on the both floors of this façade there are larger windows with nicely profiled frames. In the 19th century, the western wing of the palace was elongated onto the previously built ground floor on which a large two-winged door with a semicircular vault stands out. Above them, from the façade, six delightful reliefs carved late baroque consoles protrude which supported the balcony that was here until the end of the 19th century. That balcony was removed and never rebuilt.

In the ground floor of the palace, at the entrance hall, there are two side doors adorned with rich decorations which are a mixture of several styles. Shutters close to doors are adorned with baroque masks over which folds is an arch made in the late Renaissance style in whose scalp is the head of a woman whilst above another door there is a head of moustached man in a turban.

In documents from the 18th century, it can be read that inside the palace there are relief carved wall basins.

At the back courtyard of the palace are remnants of a storey that once had a rectangular ground plan and was set in the same direction as the palace. On its façade were smaller balconies supported by consoles.
