Trg od Brasna (Flour Square), Kotor

Known for its historical function as a flour storage area, this square houses three notable buildings: the Saint Nicholas of Seamen Church, Pima Palace, and Buća Palace.

In the old days of Kotor, each influential family flaunted their wealth through grand palaces. The Buća family, particularly Mihailo, the city's wealthiest resident, owned a magnificent edifice in the 14th century; however, following a devastating earthquake in the 17th century, the family lacked the funds to fully restore it. Now operating as a boutique hotel, the palace comprises three distinct buildings, each with varying heights, facades, and architectural styles, making it difficult to believe they were once one structure.

Across the street, the Pima Palace was once the residence of the noble Pima family, counting famous poets Jerome and Bernard among its members. Despite enduring damage from numerous earthquakes over the centuries, the edifice was rebuilt after the devastating tremor of 1667 and again after the one in 1979. Its main portal still displays the Pima family coat of arms, supported by two angels.

Under house number 328, excavations uncovered the remnants of a church. Initially a chapel belonging to the Buća family, it was later donated to the Fraternity of Saint Nicholas of Seamen, a group eventually known as the Bokelian Navy. Around 1000 AD, this seafaring guild played a pivotal role in advancing maritime affairs in the city. Their contributions are commemorated every June 26th.
