Figure 1: Palace of the Trieste-Rijeka Privileged Company built in 1776
The old administration building was destroyed in a fire in 1775. It does not seem that the
building was burned down completely, because the new one, built as early as 1776, is said
to be ‘meliorem in form est reedificata’ (‘restored and even more beautiful than before’).
The palace is the largest business building in Central Europe, and by the ceremonial halls,
it also has offices and service areas, and on the ground floor sugar warehouses and cellars.
