NICHES AS FOUND ON TRADITIONAL STONE HOUSES

Ante Sapunar

Abstract

This paper discusses one of the traditional engineering artifacts found on traditional stone houses within Diocletian’s palace and in the suburbs of Split. These artifacts are plain bird holes that are usually found on the stone walls of traditional houses. The holes were
intentionally designed to become nests or shelters for birds. These holes should be preserved as a part of our cultural heritage.
