Sažetak
Remains of a fortifi cation which belonged to the summer house of the de Soppe family are to be found on the island of Babac in the Pašman canal. The founding and the development of the economic-vacationing complex of houses which is mentioned at the end of the 15th century to the time of the construction of walls and a mill at the end of the 16th century is confi rmed by a number of historical documents. The preserved remains of the architecture of the summer house consist of a rectangular space encircled by a wall within which are located village houses. Of the walls built at the end of the 16th century their southwestern part with a bastion and the facade of the entrance gate with a coat-of-arms of the de Soppe family done in the Renaissance manner are the items best preserved. The nearby church of St. Andrews, although erected at an earlier date, became a constitutive part of the summer residence of the de Soppe family. The family’s coat-of-arms was built into the wall on the facade of the church. During the period of Turkish incursions the entire complex of buildings served as a temporary shelter for refugees from the shore. The fortifi ed summer house on Babac with its emphatic defensive role represents an exceptional example of 16th century residential architecture on the Zadar islands.
