## About the Venue

Villa Tončić was built in the early 20th century by architect Kamilo Tončić, working from an original design by Czech architect Karel Beneš. The building is a protected cultural asset of the City of Split. The garden — a perivoj — features a central stone fountain, palms, cypresses and Mediterranean planting. Capacity: 120 guests outdoors.

The interior was designed by Design Studio 502 in collaboration with architect Katja Stubnya, combining Secession architecture with bold colour and a Memphis-influenced approach. Art works by Jelena Bando and sculptural pieces by Marko and Ivica Gašparić are integrated throughout the space.
