1.4.2009 - Architecture in Dalmatia
Split After the first settlers in Dalmatia, which here in prehistoric times primitive stone huts built, were the first archaeologically interesting buildings, the Roman and Greek. Illyrians and Romans brought into the culturally not very far developed region temples and bathhouses, aqueducts and theaters - no wonder then that the beginnings of the "Croatian" Architecture in the Roman-oriented. For example, in Christian areas of the classical Roman Markthalle copied, but used as a church - the Basilica arose. Due to the large marble deposits in Dalmatia, the builder always enough material for their art to practice and perfect. Thus, between 9 and 11 Century, many small churches with bulky observation towers were built, some of which still dominate the landscape. (e.g. Nin near Zadar)
Cathedral in Trogir is only in the Romanesque style began with the monumental and representative church buildings. Three buildings with tremendous ceiling height are not uncommon - but not soon to be completed. So you can still structure a particularly bizarre visit: the Cathedral of Trogir, which was built so long that it almost as a collection of various styles can be seen.
The homes of the time were so functional as to be stable and was still partially inhabited: On the ground floor were offices or buildings, to sleep chambers and living rooms.
With the Gothic began to rethink On: within cities was less in private houses were built, but we focused on strong fortifications and planned the first time, whole streets. This would later be very popular. Even the church buildings changed. The clergy would not be off but the poor and the sick attention. So were in the middle of the larger town hall-like building in which the People's plenty of room to pray, but also hospitals had been erected. Outwardly, the buildings were rather simple, but the cloister was elaborately carved pillars decorated.
In the Renaissance many port cities reached its peak as a commercial city and economic power. Accordingly, this glory manifested in the cityscape. Not only were first planning their gardens and on the architects, there were also entire neighborhoods on the table cry planned and built in the shortest possible time. Styles have been copied from Italy, such as dome building (for these products were actually produced) and wall paintings. Also started to renovate old buildings or architecture according to the ideas of the Renaissance beauty convert.
