Imotska gradska kavana na Pjaci bila je statusni simbol grada, dnevni boravak Imoćana, a u nju su zalazili Tin Ujević, Dinko Štambak, Vlade Gotovac, Mate Parlov i drugi poznati Imoćani.

Po katastru iz 1725. kuća je pripadala Stipanu Crnici, serdaru Imotske krajine, a kasnije prešla u vlasništvo obitelji Ciciliani. Na katu iznad kavane otvorena je 1875. godine Hrvatska čitaonica. Kavanu je na samom početku 20. st. otvorio Šimun Rako Jurkan koji je poginuo u Prvom svjetskom ratu, no njegova je supruga Manda nastavila obiteljski posao. U osvit 21. st., nakon smrti posljednjeg vlasnika Ante ĐukeKrisa, kavana je zatvorena.
