[1] The mansion is situated at Shoemaker's Street (Slovene: Čevljarska ulica, Italian: Calegaria) in the old town center.

[5] The noble family's coat of arms is above the door of the main portal, which is flanked by triple lancet windows.

[4] The foundations lie on an artificial embankment of sand, gravel and loam capped with clay, about 5 metres (16 ft) deep, which rests on load-bearing sandstone.

Recent deep excavations for municipal facilities caused pronounced settling in one corner, threatening the integrity of the building.

[4] The Insula-Obala Visual Artists Association, which runs the Insula Gallery in neighboring Izola, sometimes prepares exhibitions in the mansion.
