The Rich History of Brač

Brač has a history stretching back to prehistoric times, with evidence of human habitation found in caves and ancient ruins. The Greeks and Romans established colonies here, using Brač’s high-quality white limestone for construction, including the famous Diocletian's Palace in Split.

During the Middle Ages, Brač came under Venetian rule, and its culture flourished. Many small villages were established, and stonemasonry became a defining craft. Today, Brač is celebrated for preserving its heritage while welcoming modern tourism.
