Designed by Onofrio de la Cava in 1435, the Rector's Palace (Knežev dvor), now home to the city's Cultural Historical Museum, has been much altered through the centuries.

 A beautiful mix of late Gothic and early Renaissance styles, this splendid old palace was heavily damaged by a gunpowder explosion not long after its completion, later by a fire, and then again in 1667 when an earthquake struck.
