Opis
The Lazzaretto was located right next to the coast, surrounded by a high wall with a portal – a triumphal arch on the north side, with a prominent Hungarian coat of arms. The complex in Martinšćica consisted of three basic parts that formed a whole, namely the yard with administrative facilities, the yard with the contamination building and the storage zone. In the first phase of construction, the courtyard with administrative buildings was not fully completed. In the centre of the courtyard, in the axis with the entrance to the Lazaretto, there was a rotunda dedicated to St. Francis, resembling an ancient temple with pillars carrying a dome. The southern façade facing the sea was defined by a coastal building with an open porch which housed the reception service and the parlatory for communication with the arriving ships, and later another Lazzarettoabbot. A canal of one of the Draga streams stretched through the yard. The priory building, completed a little later, is equipped with classicist shapes with a bell tower on the south side. Subsequently, the entire west wing was built with an office of the chaplaincy, auxiliary rooms and a canteen. During the extension of these premises, the complex of Adamić's buildings was probably demolished at that time. The contamination zone was divided from the clean courtyard by a building with prominent wings for military guards and an inn. In the middle of the "unclean" yard there was a contamination building with cells, which could accommodate a total of fifty people. Outside the walls of this courtyard there were a staff building, a hospital and bathrooms, as well as a warehouse for suspicious goods. TheLazzaretto was the most modern complex of such buildings at that time in the Monarchy, only surpassed by the third Trieste Lazzaretto built in 1869.
