Humac, Abandoned settlement in Jelsa, Croatia.
The village contains 140 stone houses built without mortar, situated 350 meters above sea level on the island of Hvar.
The settlement originated in the 13th century as a seasonal shepherd's dwelling and expanded into a permanent village during the 17th century.
The Church of St John and Paul stands among narrow stone paths, serving as the central point for the annual feast celebration on June 26.
Tavern Humac offers meals prepared with vegetables from local gardens and operates throughout most days of the week.
The inhabitants never lived permanently in Humac but stayed only during agricultural work periods, maintaining this pattern for centuries.
