Sibenik City Museum

The City Museum (Gradski Muzej) is located in the building of the Prince's Palace (Kne ei Dvor or Rector's Palace). This magnificent Baroque palace was built in 1751 by the Eltz family. For a long time the palace remained a princely residence, but after the Second World War it was nationalized. A few years later, the palace was turned into a museum. In addition to rare furniture, the museum exhibited numerous art objects, coin collections, painting galleries, ancient documents, coats of arms and seals, as well as much more. Particular attention should be paid to the treasury of the Franciscan monastery.

In 1991, during the Yugoslav War, the museum building was badly damaged, and many art objects were hastily removed. Restoration work was carried out until 2001.
