The History of the Palace

Towards the end of the seventeenth century the aristocratic Lešić family, local landowners prominent in trade and commerce in Korčula, began to acquire a number of contiguous properties in the town with a view to creating for themselves a prestigious urban residence. The street along which the Palace buildings were principally ranged, now known as Ulica don Pavla Poše bore the name of the Lešić family for much of the eighteenth century. The surname disappeared, however, in the second half of that century when the Palace passed through the female line into the hands of the Dimitri family.
