Abstract

During the period of Vojna Krajina, a barracks complex was built in one
of the main streets of Gospić, on Kaniška Street. It consisted of three buildings
of barracks and three wooden structures. Alongside this complex,
the commander’s apartment was also erected, also situated in Kaniška
Street, and an officers’ mess hall located in the beginning of Budačka
Street. Thanks to the analytical interpretation of the researched documentation
of the new buildings in Domobranska Barracks in Gospić from the
end of the 19th century, which is partly preserved in the Croatian State
Archives in Zagreb, it is possible to reconstruct the course of construction
of the main barracks building, changes within the barracks complex in the
period preceding the First World War, as well as the changes in the barracs
construction that were located in the community. This is the first study of
Gospić military architecture from the transition period from the 19th to
the 20th century.
