Palacio Ploech

The yellow building is the Palacio Ploech. The commissioner and owner of the grandiose palace was the Austrian mechanic Annibale Ploech (1826 – 1884), who made a fortune by working in the Torpedo Factory in Rijeka. The project was made by Giacomo Zammatti, a young architect from Trieste, who had just finished schooling in Vienna and arrived to Rijeka (1884). He built the edifice in the spirit of central European high historicism.

In the right background the "Al Capone skyscraper - 1942" described before, to the left the catholic temple Gospa Lurdska (Capuchin Church of Our Lady of Lourdes). The building is a unique example of eclecticism in Rijeka, with emphasis on neo-Gothic form.
