Gornji Humac, Rural settlement on Brač Island, Croatia
The settlement of Gornji Humac extends across 36.7 square kilometers of terrain at an elevation of 500 meters above sea level on Brač Island.
Dating back to medieval times, Gornji Humac emerged as a farming community and witnessed both Venetian rule in the 15th century and Austrian governance in the 19th century.
The Baroque Parish Church of St. Nicholas houses valuable artworks, including a triptych by Juraj Dalmatinac and stone reliefs from Niccolò Fiorentino's workshop.
