The Governor's Palace

Construction of the Governor’s Palace began in 1892 during the period of Governor Lajos Batthyány's rule and based on the design of one of the leading Hungarian architects of the time, Alajos Hauszmann who had already proved himself on the project of the King's Palace and the Parliament building in Budapest. On a surface area of 12 000 m² a simple and monumental corpus of the detached neo-Renaissance palace was built based on models of the famous Palladi's works, a French park with two fountains and balustrades made of wrought iron and two-leaf doors with sentry boxes.Today, the Maritime and Historical Museum of the Croatian Littoral can be found at the palace founded in 1961 which contains a maritime, cultural and historical, ethnographical and archaeological department. Part of the exhibits of original pieces from the Governor’s palace are presented in lounges, including the furniture and objects of the art crafts belonging to the periods from the Renaissance to Historicism as well as a collection of portraits of the most notable Rijeka citizens.

Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc

Built in 1885 as a city theatre according to the design of the specialized Vienna Helmer and Fellner workshop, which designed similar buildings throughout the Austro-Hungary of the time. Matsch, Kauffungen and Fritsch, and the Klimt brothers, permanent associates of the workshop, were charged with equipping the theatre, contributing to the pronounced central European atmosphere of the town. The exterior is adorned by figurative compositions of Music and Drama by Venetian sculptor Benvenutti. The opening of the theatre was marked by a performance of Verdi's Aida.

Try to get inside! That's where it's at! Yes, the outside is beautiful and worth a gander but if there's an event going on of any kind do what you can to go. It is so very worth it. I got lucky and found a door in the back that was open and an employee pointed out the box office across the street (on the right if you're facing the building). The was a dance recital starting in about an hour so for just over five USDollars I got to experience that magic and spend lots of time enjoying the luscious interior including the ceiling art done in part by Gustav Klimit who painted the famous work, the Kiss. This is really a must see if you can.

Palace of Justice

The existing urban-architectural complex is primarily Secession in style, constructed at the beginning of the 20th century after a feudal castle, located at the site of today's Palace of Justice, was demolished. The Palace was designed by the Budapest-born architect G. Czigler, while the supporting masonry across the street is attributed to the Secession architect G. Rubinich. Both the masonry and the supporting masonry built in monumental rustic style, at places even with stylised cannon holes, are imposing and sad reminders of the fortifications erased by them.
