Vlatković (Kontin's) palace is located within the historic center of Novigrad, just above the Great (city) gate along the eastern rampart. The yard is a set of residential and commercial buildings with a water cistern and terraced gardens. It was extended several times in the period from the 17th to the 19th century. The last extensive reconstruction of the complex was carried out in 1813, when Canon Pave Vlatković built a cistern and decorated the residential buildings in the forms of classicism.

History


In 1386, the Hungarian and Croatian sovereign Mary and her mother, Elizabeth of Bosnia, were imprisoned in Novigrad. Elizabeth was strangled in Novigrad in 1387 but Mary was liberated. It was part of Republic of Venice in 1409. Venetian rule in Novigrad briefly interrupted by Ottoman occupation between 1646 and 1647 during Cretan War.[3]


Attractions


The historic little town on the southern side of the Novigrad sea is situated in a narrow bay. The Novigrad sea is abundant in fish and shellfish, which is why Novigrad fishermen are well known. The town has preserved its Mediterranean architecture, and partially also its system of fortification. The vicinity of the Zrmanja River allows for attractive canoe, kayak or rafting excursions.

Новигра́д (хорв. Novigrad) — посёлок в Хорватии, в центральной Далмации, в Задарской жупании. Население — 542 человека в самом посёлке и 2368 человек в общине с центром в Новиграде[1]. Поскольку в Истрии есть город с тем же названием, в Хорватии часто называется Новиградом Задарским или Новиградом Далматинским.
