This red, Neo-Renaissance building with a long arcade is one of three forming Republic Square. Collectively, they resemble a Venetian piazza and are called Prokurative. The fourth or southern side has an open view of the waterfront. The Trg Republike was commissioned by the town’s visionary major, Antonio Bajamonti. He was in office for almost twenty years from 1860 until 1880. This square is a popular venue for outdoor concerts and festivals.
