Sibenik Count's Palace (Civic Museum) Sibenski Muzej

Behind the Sibenik Cathedral is the late Renaissance Rector's Palace / Count's Palace (Knezeva Palaca). It was originally built to be the governor's residence during the Venetian rule. The name Count's Palace came from Count Niccolo Marcello, the Venetian who had the structure built in the early 1600s. The Palace now houses the Civic Museum (Muzej Grada Sibenika) with archeological artifacts from the Neolithic to Roman times, sculptures, some of which date to the 7th Century, a coin collection, and other miscellaneous items from Sibenik and the surrounding region. While most of the collection is rather uninspiring, the Count's Palace is worth a look.
