THE ISLAND OF BRAČ
Out of more than one thousand unique islands in the Adriatic Sea, Brač is the third largest and is the largest in Dalmatia, 48km long, and 14 km wide, covering 394 square kilometres. There is evidence suggesting that the history of the island stretches as far back as the Bronze and Iron Ages. Archaeological findings in the Kopačina cave have been dated to the year 12,000 BC, making them some of the oldest traces of human habitation in Croatia.

VIDOVA GORA
Vidova gora is the highest peak on the Adriatic islands, at 778m. North of Vidova Gora you’ll find endemic species of pine trees, the Aleppo pine being the main one to surround the coast.

ZLATNI RAT
Brač has one of the best known beaches in Croatia, Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn), located near the town of Bol. It extends into the sea with an almost unbelievable shape that constantly changes depending on the tides, the waves and all the unpredictable ways of the sea.

LOVREČINA BEACH
One of the few sandy beaches on Brač, Lovrečina beach, is located on the northern part of the island, between Postira and Pučišće. It is famous for its archaeological site situated right in the bay. The former Basilica of St. Lawrence dates back to the 5th and 6th century and now characterizes the wonderful landscape of this dream beach.

DOMINICAN MONASTERY
On Glavica, the peninsula in Bol, many ruins show early Christian architecture, which is a substratum of early medieval architecture. One of the most important is the Dominican monastery in Bol, built in the 15th century on the site of the Episcopal palace (Biskupija). With a wonderful garden and a collection of prehistoric items, numismatic, underwater archeology and archives that contain incunabula charters and decrees from the 15th century, there is an amazing collection of stone monuments and paintings.

BLACA MONASTERY AND HERMITAGE
Founded by two Glagolitic monks in the Karst cave of Ljubitovica in the 16th Century, Blaca Monastery and Hermitage stand as a proud monument to the rich cultural history of the island of Brač.
Although Blaca was a proper monastery, it didn’t belong to any specific church order. They were permitted by the Hvar and Brač bishop to decide on their own who they wanted to let in. They chose their leader, who took care of the monastery’s business - and at some point, it was doing so well that the brothers, who were supposed to be hermits, hard at work and thinking, had servants and people working on their land. The last family to manage the monastery were the Miličević priests, known for their work in astronomy (they even have two asteroids named after them, Miličević and Brač).
