MARTA HUSIĆ
Abstract
The subject of this paper is the study of the status of the town of Senj at the turn of the 18th century. Namely, at the end of the 17th century Senj was in the context of socio-political circumstances faced with the issue of losing its centuries-old rights assured with a statute, the highest set of rules of an autonomous community. With the transitional period after the change of a military role into that of trade, the status of the town became dual. The urban context of the town was in this period under the powerful influence of the state, in other words the Habsburg Monarchy and its military circles. In fact due to the trade activities of Senj, the issue of the rights and privileges, which affected trade, as well as the civil administration, became the prime issue of the two conflicting administrations.
