It consists of 4 levels with a gross area of 608.5 m2, it was built from finely carved Korčulan stone. On the ground floor there is the main entrance with two small windows with characteristic baroque profiling and two coats of arms in the form of reliefs. On the first floor there is a balcony with a stone balustrade and three supporting profiled consoles, which is accessed through two portals with arched transoms decorated with metal mesh. On the top level there is a viewpoint, the so-called belvedere, which is decorated with baroque profiled volutes.

The Beskuća Palace is one of the few located directly on the coast where direct and authentic contact with the sea has been preserved, with a paved courtyard in front of the palace, a pier, and a small harbor.

‍

In the second half of the 19th century, the palace was a meeting place for numerous distinguished guests with whom the Beskuća family had connections. In 1844, the Montenegrin ruler, poet, and philosopher Petar II Petrović Njegoš also spent the summer in the palace. In 1878, an international fleet stayed in Boka, ensuring that Turkey ceded Bar and Ulcinj to Montenegro, and on that occasion, gala dinners, games, and night parties were hosted for the commanders of various ships in the palace.
