The Main Square, locally known as the “Pjaca” is full of history, architecture, including Gothic, Romanesque, Renaissance, Classicist, Art Nouveau. For centuries the “Pjaca” has been the central stage of city life. Just a few meters from the hotel is the Iron Gate, one of 4 magnificent gate entrances to the original Palace.
