Health facilities in Dalmatia during Neoclassicism, with special emphasis on the Old Hospital in Split
Silva Kalčić
Abstract
The author focuses on formal and organisational features of the Civil Hospital in Split, which could be determined as Neoclassical, in conformity with the typology of hospital architecture in Venice, France and Austria, centres of greatest influence on Dalmatia - the provincial environment of the time. The variety of styles which exist in parallel, or coexist, according to Kubler`s theory of fibre bundles, is the result of multitude of man`s inner needs and wants. Through the resemantisation of architecture, the building of Civil or Old Hospital in Split became home to the Art Gallery in 2008, which substantially activated the artistic scene in Dalmatia.
