Description
The Vrachien Palace is a fantastic example of traditional Italian Baroque architecture. Built in the 18th Century, it first served as a home for the Vrachien family, an influential dynasty in Cattaro since medieval times. Unusually for a palace in the Bay of Kotor area, it is plastered.
This historic palace of 333 m2 is located in the Kotor Old Town and is for reconstruction. Its most remarkable decorative detail on the exterior can be found above the portal: the composition of angels in stucco carrying a Baroque frame with the coat of arms of the Vrachien family, which depicts a crow. Next to the portal is an arched street passage, above which is a room that originally functioned as the house chapel, the only of this kind in Kotor.
The palace has a well-preserved interior. The first floor is accessed via a staircase hall that is decorated with wall paintings and marbles in the “al secco” technique. These were made by the Italian master Napoleon d’Este in the second half of the 19th century. The main salon floor is still covered with original mosaics and terrazzo. Access from the salon to the side rooms takes place through the original doors made up of several types of wood.
