On the ground floor there is the main entrance with two small windows with characteristic Baroque molding and two coats of arms in the form of relief. 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 skylights decorated with metal mesh.

Beskuca Palace is one of the few that is located on the coast itself, where direct and authentic contact with the sea has been preserved, with a paved courtyard in front of the palace, a pontoon and a mandrake.
?
In the second half of the 19th century, the palace was a meeting place for numerous distinguished guests with whom Beskuce had a relationship. Montenegrin bishop, poet and philosopher Petar II Petrovic Njegos also spent the summer of 1844 in the palace. In 1878, an international fleet stayed in Boka, which ensured that Turkey cedes Bar and Ulcinj to Montenegro, and on that occasion, gala dinners, games and night parties were arranged for the commanders of various ships in the palace.
