Summary: The built heritage of Pula, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik and the seven settlements of Kastela has been dealt by a unique methodology which has resulteted in developing of young trained personnel and in acquiring lots of information on the built heritage. Many a research papers prepared on the basis of such information can be used as preliminary work in the process of restoration, reconstruction and rehabilitation of the built heritage. All the so far published books and papers on the Amphitheatre of Pula have been collected in Pula together with all the available maps necessary for the presenatation of the original appearance of the Amphitheatre. Historic documents, both written and grafical, kept in the archives all over Europe, have been gathered in Zadar, thus making a presentation of the spatial evolution of Zadar possible. Within the research on the spatial evolution of Split many of the no longer existing buildings have been throughly studied. Some of the research have been completed, such as for Bacvice cape, for the Cathedral belltower and for the archiepiscopal realty in the southeast section of the Palace of Diocletian, while the research on the Benedictine Monastery, on the Lazarets (quarantine hospitals) and on the town fortifications from the seventeenth century have been nearly completed. The original appearance of the south-eastern section of the Palace of Diocletian has been thoroghly studied, and much more learnt about the preserved sections of the Palace throughout centuries. The belltowers of Dubrovnik have been completely surveyed, while it is still been worked on the definition and presentarion of beginnings of mediaeval town of Dubrovnik and the Churches dedicated to St. Vlaho, patron of the town. Spatial evolution of Kastel Stari, both of the Town and fortified castle, has been completed, while partial survey is being prepared for the towns of Kaštel Lukšić, Kaštel Sućurac and Kaštel Gomilica.

Keywords: Original state of Amphieatre in Pula, the Diocletian's palace in Split. Spatial development of Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik and "The seven Kaštela" group of settlements.

Research goals: Work on the rehabilitation and reconstruction of historic buildings and sites enables only a part of the values be restored and exposed. A great deal of such values, even when we know about them, remains hidden. By studying the spatial evolution of historic buildings and sites and by presenting them graphically, one can learn about their values which were not possible to be presented thus not perceived through the rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. The understanding of spatial development retained in people's mind, together with the preserved and physically exposed buildings and sites makes a unique entity. Therefore, the results obtained by studying the spatial evolution of historic buildings and sites form the basis for the process of evaluation, planning, designing, rehabilitation and restoration of the built heritage. At the same time it helps in defining the places of possible architectural findings. The knowledge of historic buildings and sites is now being broadened with the results of new research which finally helps the scientific definition be made of the spatial evolution of historic buildings and sites. Thorough knowledge of historic buildings and sites provide the opportunities for a comparative research of different buildings and sites. A thorough research on a historic building includes research on the structure, building technology, measurement system, etc. The results of such research provide opportunity for understanding the level of scientific achivements in different historic periods in the area in concern.
