Trg kralja Tomislava

 

Trg kralja Tomislava glavni je gradski trg koji svoje početke vuče još iz 1871. godine kada je započelo njegovo uređenje, a prvi mu je naziv bio Plokata. Zauzimao je površinu od 3000 m², a okružuju ga razne stambene, poslovne i javne građevine te Gradski park i rijeka Neretva. Najznačajnije do danas sačuvane građevine na trgu su zgrada današnjeg hotela Narona, kuća Golijan, Gradski park te primjeri tradicijske arhitekture koji potječu s kraja 19. i početka 20. stoljeća, a koji na svojim pročeljima pokazuju ukrase svojstvene secesijskom stilu. Iz vremena neposredno nakon Drugog svjetskog rata potječe stambeno-poslovna zgrada nekadašnjeg metkovskog trgovačkog poduzeća Razvitak koja nosi odlike moderne arhitekture. Godine 2009. Trg kralja Tomislava obnovljen je te je ponovno postao mjesto okupljanja i druženja Metkovaca i mjesto održavanja različitih manifestacija, što je i tijekom prošlosti bio, pogotovo kao sajmeno mjesto za blagdan sv. Ilije, zaštitnika grada.

King Tomislav Square

 

The King Tomislav Square is the main town square dating back to 1871 when it was made; at first, it used to be called Plokata. It has the surface of 3,000 m² and is surrounded by different residential, business and public structures, the Town Park and the Neretva river. The most significant structures on the square, preserved until today, are the building of today’s Narona hotel, the Golijan house, the Town Park and samples of traditional architecture dating back to the end of the 19th and the early 20th century, bearing in the front ornaments typical for the secessionist style. Dating back to the times directly after World War II is the residential and business building of the former Metković commercial company Razvitak (Development) bearing modern architectural traits. In 2009, the King Tomislav Square was renovated and became once again the gathering and socialising place for the people of Metković and a place for various events, which was also its purpose in the past, in particular as a place for the fair on the holiday of St. Elijah, the patron saint of the town.
