Historic palace of the 18th. century for reconstruction

The palace belonged to the noble family of Vrakijen, who had a house on this site as early as the 14th century. century. The current palace dates from the second half of the 18th century. century. Unusually for a palace in the Bay of Kotor, it is plastered.

Above the entrance is the most prominent decorative detail: a composition of angels in stucco with a Baroque frame with the coat of arms of the Vrakien family, depicting a swallow. Next to the entrance is an arched street passage, above which is a room that originally served as a house chapel, the only one of its kind in Kotor.

The palace has a well-preserved interior. The first floor is accessed through a staircase corridor that is decorated with wall paintings and marbles in the “al secco” technique. It was made by the Italian master Napoleon d’Este in the second half of the 19th century. century. The main floor of the salon is still covered with original mosaics and terrazzo. Access from the saloon to the side rooms takes place through the original doors made up of several types of wood.
