In the other half of the 19th century Dalmatia was shaken by severe political circumstances in which there were fierce conflicts between autonomous and nationalists. It was in this period, from 1860 to 1880 to be precise, that Dr. Ante Bajamonti, the leader of the autonomous party, became the mayor of Split. Bajamonti made great efforts to rise Split to the level of an European city, and that he made primarily through ambitious construction projects. This work focuses on the construction created by Bajamonti in the Marmont's park, a land intended to be regulated by the French General Auguste Marmont in the first half of the 19th century. In order to highlight the connection between Dalmatia and the Italian culture, Bajamonti hired Italian masters for the projects in Marmont's park so the whole complex had an Venetian expression. After the nationalists won at the local elections in 1880 Bajamonti's merits for the city of Split were put on dispute and the buildings built up through his endeavor became the eyesore for his political opponents and the citizens of Split. The construction projects that Bajamonti performed got since that time, and especially during the Italian occupation of Dalmatia, the wrong political connotations and the erroneous judgment on the artistic value. For these reasons these valuable artistic achievements of the second half of the 19th century had become uncared-for to this day.
