Splitska, Coastal settlement in Supetar, Croatia.
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Stomorna contains an altar painting by Venetian Renaissance artist Leandro Bassano from 1577.
