The Piazza Heritage is a boutique hotel with only seven suites housed in the Nakic Palace. It is named after its architect Spiro Nakic who gave it this beautiful Art Nouveau design at the turn of the 20th century. The word “piazza” was added to its name to reflect its location along the western edge of Pjaca. “Piazza” in Italian means square and the Croatian equivalent is “trg.” This main public square was called St. Lawrence’s when it was constructed during the 13th century. Today it hosts shops and restaurants tucked inside historic buildings. The hotel also has a great view of the Iron Gate (Potra Ferrea) into Diocletian’s Palace.
