The Central Street has represented the central dynamic town axis with mercantile and other public activities ever since the ancient period (decumanus maximus). The lower one was stretched along the emporium and it probably contained harbour-adapted buildings, which were replaced in the medieval age with residential structures. Out of these, the Nimira Palace is the most important one on the western beginning with well-set. preserved atrium and a monumental late-Gothic portal. Around the corner of the middle and the small transversal street there is the Church of St. Anthony of Padua, built in the seventh decade of the 17th century as a pledge from the donator F. Brazza. On the wooden altar, above the antependium in the multicoloured marble intarsia with the representation of Our Lady and the Child in the centre, there is a beautiful painting showing Holy Mary with St. Francis. St Anthony of Padua and the portrait of the named donator.

Manorial palaces dominate the central street. Most of them were built in the second half of the 15th century, often by restoration of older buildings and structures. Palaces Marinelis. Spalatin and Benedeti with picturesque cambering of streets by leaning on semicircular arches are worth mentioning. Particularly valuable and the best preserved is the Palace of the family Dominis at the beginning of the town. It was one of the biggest Gothic-Renaissance buildings in Dalmatia of that time with the interesting inner courtyard and Gothic-Renaissance decorations on the portal and on the windows. It was also the birth place of the great Markantun, the bishop of Senj. who was also the archbishop of Split, a physicist, writer and church reformer of the second half of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th centuries. A small square lies on the eastern end encompassing Town Loggia and the town clock tower.
