Šibenik, Old Town - Apartment with royal pedigree and secret passage 108m2
Kaiser Immobilien presents: Live history in the De Dominis palace – Apartment with a royal pedigree and a secret passage, Šibenik
In the very heart of the old city core of Šibenik, at the foot of the walls of St. Michael’s fortress, Kaiser Immobilien proudly presents a property that appears on the market once in a generation.
Located in the historic palace of the noble De Dominis family, this 108 m² apartment is not just a home, but a cultural monument whose roots go back to the 11th century.
HISTORY THAT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY:
The De Dominis family is one of the most significant noble families on the Adriatic, and this estate hides incredible historical connections:
Link to Hawaii: From this line comes the family of Captain Ivan Dominis, whose son, John Owen Dominis, became prince consort and husband of the last Hawaiian queen Liliʻuokalani.
By purchasing this apartment, you become part of a story that connects medieval Šibenik with the royal court in Honolulu.
Secret passage to the fortress: Inside the house there is a “Tinel” (traditional salon) that hides a historic passage leading directly to St. Michael’s fortress.
Although currently partially blocked, this architectural rarity testifies to the strategic importance and power of the former owners.
Archive records: Detailed extracts from historical archives exist about the tenants of this house, giving the property additional documented value.

Lower floor (72 m²): Consists of a spacious living area, kitchen and bathroom.
The space is dominated by historic details and walls that whisper centuries of history.

Located in the labyrinth of stone streets of Šibenik, a UNESCO‑protected city, the apartment is within walking distance of St. James Cathedral, the waterfront and the best Šibenik restaurants.
The location offers complete peace within the thick medieval walls, while being in the centre of all cultural events.
