Perished in the Allied Bombing of 1945: Two Late-Baroque Palaces in Rijeka
Up until the end of the Second World War, two grand houses built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries stood out in the cityscape of Rijeka. The Bolf Palace at Korzo 2A was owned by the cloth merchant Valentino Bolf, a native of Gorizia, while the palace of the Huber family occupied the eastern part of today's building at Riva 8. Both were three-storey palatial houses, accentuated in height and articulated with portals, balconies and large roof gables, which made them typical upscale residential houses of the period. During Allied bombing in the spring of 1945, both palaces were directly hit, and their walls collapsed into ruins. After the removal of debris, the empty site of the Bolf Palace was filled in by the construction of the present modernist building designed by architect Zdenko Kolacio in 1950, while the site of the Huber Palace was converted to a small park, designed by the same architect in 1952, and then entirely used up by the Croatia Line building (1987-1993). The images of war destruction and the consequent history of the two palaces’ locations revealed how the most valuable segments of the urban fabric of Rijeka have been permanently erased from memory.
