Sažetak

The paper presents a historical view of the Arsenal in Zadar and its function over time. This is a large port warehouse built in the 16th century, widened and expanded in 1752 under the rule of the governor Girolamo Maria Balbi, the evidence of which can be seen on the plate with a carved inscription on the facade of the building itself. With this construction, the Arsenal achieved its present appearance with a new facade of carved stone and a two-armed exterior staircases. The roof was different and above the eaves there were two luminars decorated with baroque volutes. In the reconstruction of the 19th century the baroque crown was removed and a large gable surface with a double-drained roof was added.The Arsenal is part of the cultural and historical heritage of Zadar, which, after decades of slumber when it functioned as a warehouse for different purposes, it has been successfully revitalised into the contemporary life of the town. The area itself has been reconstructed as a closed town square with a variety of shops and restaurants as well as cultural and entertainment events.
