Belgramoni-Tacco Palace, Baroque palace in Koper, Slovenia.
Belgramoni-Tacco Palace is a Mannerist mansion built around 1600 at Boris Kidrič Street 19 in Koper's old town. Its facade has a large entrance portal and, on the upper floor, stone quadrifora windows. The building has served as the Regional Museum of Koper since 1967 and was restored between 1981 and 1985.
The building was constructed in the early decades of the 17th century and later changed its name when ownership passed to the Tacco family. This transition marked a turning point in the property's long history in Koper.
Since the end of the First World War the mansion has housed the city museum of history and art, which became the Regional Museum of Koper in 1967. Its displays cover the history of the Koper region, and the building itself is protected as a cultural monument of local significance.
The palace is easily reached from the main town square and sits in an active area of the old town where other sights are nearby. Plan enough time to walk through the different exhibition rooms at a comfortable pace.
The mansion's main portal and the second-floor quadriforas are the details to look for: the wide entrance doorway and the four-light windows are singled out as its Mannerist features. The building was restored between 1981 and 1985, and it has housed the town museum since the First World War's aftermath, becoming the Regional Museum of Koper in 1967.
