Abstract

Historical research, laboratory analysis, and the probing of the remains of the wall plaster, have revealed the original floor plan and room functions, as well as the interior wall decoration in the Kursalon. The design of both interior and exterior walls originally combined elements of plaster, terracotta, stucco work, gypsum, stone and metal. The stucco work in the interior has been partially painted as marble imitation. A specific feature of the façade technology is the usage of prefabricated elements made of terracotta.
The research, undertaken in 2009 by the Croatian Conservation Institute, has extended the existing knowledge about the Kursalon, and should provide adequate scientific information for its credible reconstruction.
