Bobovišća, Coastal settlement in Milna municipality, Croatia
Bobovišća occupies 1.7 square kilometers of land on the western side of Brač island, featuring traditional stone houses and Mediterranean vegetation.
The settlement traces its origins to the 16th century when shepherds from Nerežišća established their homes in this protected coastal location.
Residents of Bobovišća preserve the Chakavian dialect, which distinguishes the linguistic identity of this part of Brač island.
The settlement maintains a small population of 15 residents as of 2021 and relies on nearby Milna municipality for essential services.
The settlement contributed to the maritime defense during the 1991 Croatian War of Independence, marking the only direct conflict on Brač island.
