ARCHITECT PETAR PEKOTA

Stanko Piplović

Sažetak

The author outlines the life and work of architect Petar Pekota, who lived in the first half of the 19 c. During the French administration of Dalmatia he attended the boarding school in Zadar. Architect Basilio Mazzoli, a well-known champion of Neoclassicism, was among his teachers. Pekota soon won high marks for his diligence and talent. His whole career is tied to the provintial headquarters for public works in Zadar. From the very beginning he was assigned to important projects,
e.g. the construction of a provisional quarantine hospital at Makarska in 1815, when the plague epidemic broke out in Bosnia. As a district engineer he was both the organizer and overseer of the construction and repairs concerning many a building essential to the new organization of local administration, church, judiciary, health service, school system, post, maritime affairs, and especially roads. He contributed to the development of a relatively poor road network in Central Dalmatia.
