Governor's Palace in Rijeka, Neo-Renaissance palace in Rijeka, Croatia.
The Governor's Palace is a rectangular structure with white stone facades and decorative relief work, designed in a historicist style. Its interior centers around a two-story atrium topped with glass, around which the main rooms are organized.
The building was constructed during the 1890s on the initiative of a Hungarian count and designed by a prominent regional architect. It reflects the administrative importance the city held during that period.
The building now serves as a museum where visitors encounter objects spanning multiple periods of the region's past. These collections tell stories of daily life and commerce from earlier eras.
The building is located in the city center and can be seen from a distance due to its size. Visitors can walk around the exterior grounds and gardens to view the architecture from different angles.
The building was designed without an interior courtyard, an unusual choice for its time. Instead, it relies on the large glass-topped atrium as the organizing center of the interior spaces.
