The subject of this work is Gothic portals of residential architecture in the area of the city of Split. The survey covers only the main street portals - 23 of them. So far, there has been no survey whose scope includes all portals. The origin of the portals is placed in a historical framework. After cataloging, morphological analysis was performed. Gothic portals were created during the 14th and 15th centuries, when Split was developing both its old and new part, ie. within Diocletian's Palace and the new city that spreads west of it. Palaces with Gothic portals can be Romanesque-Gothic, high Gothic or late Gothic. The turning point was the arrival of the Venetian rule in 1420 and the engagement of Juraj Dalmatinac and his circle. Before Venetian rule, Gothic portals were simple, with minimal sculptural decoration reduced to capitals-pilasters of portals and bastonates (capitals and bases of bastonates), while coats of arms were placed in the lunette on the neutral fund of the lunette. Juraj Dalmatinac and his circle introduce portals inspired by Venetian ones. A special form of capital with a leaf motif bent by the wind is introduced, bastonates can be multiplied and decorated with motifs of tendrils, ropes or bay leaves. The entire portal can be framed with a raboš motif and in the lunette, the coat of arms becomes part of the rich decoration.
