Splitska

Splitska is a coastal settlement on the island of Brac that spreads along the northern shoreline with white stone buildings and Mediterranean gardens close to the water. The houses display traditional Dalmatian architecture, connected by narrow lanes that lead down to the sea.

The settlement served as a major port in ancient times for transporting stone blocks used to build Diocletian's Palace in Split. The nearby Rasohe quarry still bears traces of Roman extraction work from this period.

The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Stomorna contains an altar painting by Venetian Renaissance artist Leandro Bassano from 1577.

Visitors reach Splitska by ferry from Split to Supetar and then travel along the coastal road. The road is well-maintained and offers views of the coastline and sea along the way.

The Rasohe quarry near Splitska preserves an ancient stone relief of Heracles carved into the rock by Roman workers. This rare artistic remnant shows the blend of heavy stone extraction work and artistic expression.
