Palace Augubio

The Palace Augubio was built during the late Gothic era, and stands near Diocletian's Palace in one of the narrow streets in the center of Split. It belonged to the rich businessman and later aristocrat Giovanni Battista of Gubbio and was built in the second half of the fifteenth century. Then it was transferred to George of Dalmatia who had it rebuilt in the Baroque style. The oldest parts of the palace are still in the Roman style, such as the fresco of a peacock on the second floor. Today, the ground floor houses shops where you can buy records and fashionable clothes. The gate is richly decorated and the name of the original owner is sculpted under the coat of arms of the family.
