The Governor's Palace is a palace set on a hilltop overlooking the harbor in Rijeka. It was commissioned by Count Lajos Batthyany to display his imperial power. The count was a representative of the Hungarian governor who was sent to oversee Rijeka as the area was ruled by Hungary at that time. The building was completed in 1893. The palace is home to the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral. Therefore, interested visitors can actually enter the palace and see the impressive interior as well as admire the building from outside and enjoy the statue park on the grounds.
