Praetorian Palace, Gothic palace in central Koper, Slovenia.
The Praetorian Palace displays Gothic architecture with double, triple, and quadruple lancet windows adorning its white stone facade on Tito Square.
Construction of the palace started in the 13th century between two older houses, with major renovations following damage from a Genoese attack.
The Renaissance portal del Corte from 1505 and late Baroque elements added in 1664 reflect different architectural periods of Koper's development.
The palace houses administrative offices and offers guided tours that explain the architectural elements and historical significance of the building.
A stone lion relief called Bocca del Leone on the facade corner allowed citizens to submit anonymous messages to local administrators.
