Sažetak
The cement plant at the west end of the Split
Port, at Dražanac, The First Dalmatian Plant of
Portland Cement Gilardi & Bettiza – Split, was
founded in 1865. At the beginning (from 1870) it
produced roman cement and after that, from 1880
to 1933, its chief product was portland cement. It
used vertical Dietzsch kilns and marl of high quality
mined at the close vicinity of the plant, on the slopes
of Mt. Marjan. In this paper, the history of the first
plant of portland cement in Dalmatia is discussed,
from chemical, geological, technological, economic,
political and cultural viewpoints, last based on the
memories of Enzo Bettiza (1927–2017), the son of
the last owner of the cement plant in Bettiza family.
