Construction and architecture
A conservation report in the harbour extension study states that the loggia was built in 1884 to a design by A. Radić. The building follows the natural slope and curves gently along the shore. On the harbour side, its façade is articulated by six imposing arched openings.
Two levels of public space
A promenade runs along the upper side and is reached by ramps. The lower space housed hospitality businesses, while the area in front of the loggia was used as a terrace. Together with the surrounding historic houses and the Church of St Anthony, it forms part of the harbour’s distinctive appearance.
Access and visiting
The loggia is best viewed from the waterfront and the upper passage, where it is easy to see how the building connects two elevations of the settlement. The present-day business signs for some of the spaces do not indicate separate historic buildings.
