Stylistic Stratigraphy of 13th-15th Century Castles in Continental Croatia

Zorislav Horvat

Abstract

Castles in continental Croatia belong to Central European stylistic idioms but contain elements based on local principles and influences of coastal architecture. They feature the Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles which merge in transitional periods. Due to insufficient preservation of Croatian castles, evidences of styles can be found in construction methods, ground plans, units of measurement, designs of entire buildings and profiles created by quadrangulation, proportions.
