Donji Humac, Ancient inland settlement in Nerežišća, Croatia
Donji Humac is a settlement in the hills of Brač, where stone houses are spread across elevated terrain and centered around a Baroque bell tower. The village has a compact layout with narrow lanes running between the traditional structures.
The area shows traces of human settlement from prehistoric times, as evidenced by discoveries in nearby caves. Roman objects incorporated into local houses suggest a long history of habitation.
Art symposiums in the 1990s left behind stone sculptures scattered among the houses, reflecting the local craft tradition of working with stone. These artworks shape how the village looks today and connect visitors to this heritage.
The settlement is accessible by a paved road, making it convenient for visitors to reach. You should expect uneven pathways between houses, as the lanes are traditionally narrow and rocky.
The village maintains active stone quarries that have supplied building materials to the region for centuries. These operations directly shaped the architectural appearance of surrounding areas.
