"Petar Berislavić" Primary School, Trogir

The "Petar Berislavić" school stands on the south shore of Trogir, beside the former town rampart. Visitors can see it as one of the most representative examples of neo-Gothic architecture in Dalmatia. The building belongs to the town of Trogir in Split-Dalmatia County.

It was built in 1909 and 1910 on the site of the church of the Trogir confraternity of the Holy Spirit, destroyed by fire in 1898, and on the line of the former southern walls. It is a two-storey stone building with an L-shaped plan and representative south and west façades. The south façade is symmetrical and vertically articulated by the main entrance, which ends in a lavish projecting bay. At the southwest corner rises a roof projection that serves as a lookout. The school is also a symbol of the uninterrupted educational use of the space and contributes to the social life of the historic core.

The building is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-6981.
