Bastion Cornaro in Split, Renaissance bastion in Split, Croatia

Bastion Cornaro is a Baroque bastion in Split, the central and northernmost of the city's fortifications, built from 1661 to 1664 to designs by the Venetian engineer Innocentio Conti. Its stone cladding, partly restored in early 2017, and earthen rampart remain well preserved. The Gallery of Arts building, erected in 1792 as Split's oldest hospital, stands within the bastion.

Construction of the central northern bastion began in 1661 under the providur Andrea Corner and was finished in 1664 under Girolamo Contarini, as part of Split's Baroque fortification system designed by the Venetian engineer Innocentio Conti. It was the first bastion built in that system, which the Republic raised from the early 17th century. The Gallery of Arts building was later erected inside it in 1792.

The bastion carries the name of the Venetian Cornaro family, and its construction was overseen by the provveditori Andrea Corner, who began it in 1661, and Girolamo Contarini, who saw it finished in 1664. The Gallery of Arts building, erected inside the bastion in 1792 to Peter Kurir's design, was Split's oldest hospital. Visitors can still trace the bastion's outline in the street layout.

Bastion Cornaro lies by Strossmayer Park, between Zagrebačka, Sinjska and Nodilova Streets, in the northern part of the historic centre. The stone cladding was partly renewed in early 2017, and the earth embankment inside the bastion is preserved. The Gallery of Arts building, erected in 1792, stands within the bastion.

The bastion is named after the Venetian Cornaro family, but two different providurs oversaw the work: Andrea Corner began it in 1661 and Girolamo Contarini saw it finished in 1664. Inside the earth-filled bastion stands the 1792 building by Petar Kurir, Split's oldest hospital and now the Gallery of Fine Arts.
