Island of Brac

The island of Brac is wide, with beautiful landscapes and hierarchies of bigger and smaller settlements. The towns and the smaller settlements seem to be threaded on a string along the coast. there are about 22 small settlements and 12 villages. Every Brac settlement has got very precious monuments. Jewelry, cermacisc and many helmets talk to us about the touch between illyrian and greek culture. The glagolitic deserts are especially interesting. They are a Dragon cave and Blaca desert dated from 15th and 16th century. Brac stone is very popular all over the world, so many world famous buildings are made of it.
The Dicletian's palace in Split and The White House in Washington are among them. The island of Brac is one of our sunniest islands. The mean annual sunshine in it is 2700 hours. The mediterranean climate predominates. Summers are long and very sunny, while winters are mild and short. The air here is so sweet-smelling because of the rosemary, immortelle and other kinds of authentic herbs growing from the rocky ground, as well as olive-trees, orange-trees, lemon-trees and fig-trees. Just 45 minutes from Supetar by car, you can visit beautiful beach resort named Bol, very famous for its beach phenomenon called Zlatni Rat.

Dalmatia

Because of its central position on the eastern coast of the Adriatic sea, , the district of Split and dalmatia has always had an extraordinary cultural and historical role. This entire rounded area consists of a wide hinterland through which flows the river Cetina (city of Omis), and of a coastal belt with an archipelago with many islands. On the coast, the crossroads of continental and sea-ways, during the prehistoric and ancient era, the town of Salona (Solin) has developed as the metropolis of the Roman province dalmatia, whose role was taken over by Split in the early Middle Ages. The emperor Diocletian, who was od dalmatian origin himself, has had a huge palace built, which became the centre, out of which the medieval town of Split has developed. Split, which has developed out of the Diocletian's palace is the most imaginative town of Dalmatia, with complicated spatial relationships, medieval houses and churches built on the ruins of imperial chambers. lThe Diocletian's palace is recorded into the UNESCO register of monuments of universal importance, as well as the old city of Salona, the cathedral in city of Trogir etc.
