Structural Analysis of the Phases of Construction: Discovering the Secrets of the Ancient Masters

In order to be able to resolve problems of maintenance and restoration of architectural monuments, it is important to understand their structural logic. This includes also comprehending the methods of designing and building of their architects, i.e. their way of thinking and resolving architectural and technical problems. In order to get familiar with the ancient masters' working methods, the historical and structural analysis of the construction of an outstanding building of the Croatian architectural heritage is made. Research of the historical evidence enabled to establish the phases of the construction, which I then analysed, using a modern computational programme for masonry structures. Thus, virtual experiments granted an insight into some of the ancient masters' secrets.
