The Dalmatia region

Brac Island has craggy shores and brown rocks, but also boasts wonderful beaches, such as Zlatni Rat (Golden Tongue), a spectacular jewel of nature. This island of stone, sea and sunshine is the largest in central Dalmatia. The limestone karst and scrub alternate with fertile fields in the interior and pine woods on the heights. Villages scattered along the coast and in the interior of Brac Island are like stone monuments, guarding the rich heritage of the past centuries.

Brac Island has had many rulers during its history, but its spirit remains unchanged and is best expressed in its most enduring product-the famous Brac stone. Some of that spirit has been incorporated in historical buildings, such as Diocletian's Palace in Split, and more modern edifices, such as The White House in Washington.

Early Brac history begins with settlements in the Epipaleolithic and Mesolithic periods. Different peoples and cultures have left their stamp on Brac, from the Romans, who established the first stone quarries, making Brac famous far and wide, to the Venetians, Austrians and even the French. In more recent history, Brac Island was affected by huge waves of emigration, particularly between the two World Wars, from which she only slowly recovered. Today, Brac Island is one of the most attractive tourist destinations on the Adriatic.

The Brac climate has all the features of Mediterranean weather and is characterized by 134 days of sunshine annually. Brac enjoys characteristically mild, wet winters and dry, hot summers. Average sea temperatures in summer are around 22°C and on hot days, the sea is refreshing.

The Island of Brac / Pucisca area

Situated on the north coast of Brac Island, Pucisca on Brac shelters in the lee of a deep bay. The harbour village got its name from the Latin puteus (well) and marked the place where salt and brackish water mingle. During the Middle Ages it was no ordinary harbour, but was known as the Harbour of Towers. Faced with continuous threats from the sea, the Brac builders constructed 13 defence forts with towers, which became the stone symbol of Pucisca on Brac.

Throughout its history, stone has been the most important source of revenue. If Brac stone represents the spirit of the island, then Pucisca on Brac is its throne, for here not everything is written on paper, but most is carved in stone. Famous stonemasons like Juraj Dalmatinac, Andrija Alesi and Nikola Firentinac worked in Pucisca, and many prominent buildings in Croatia were built from Brac stone. Today, the continuation of the masons tradition is guaranteed by the superbly organised Stonemasons College.

The skill of local masons is evident in the appearance of Pucisca's houses and churches, which gleam like stone pearls. There are few places on Brac Island which can boast such a wealth of ecclesiastical architecture. The original parish church is a Renaissance building dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with a bell-tower and cemetery on Botak, and the largest ecclesiastical structure is the present parish church of St. Jerolim (Jerome). In the cemetery is the former Benedictine church of St. Stjepan (Stephen) and just outside the village is the Romanesque-Gothic church of Sv. Juraj (George), symbolising protection for the village. In the area known as Dubrova there are two small churches, dedicated to St. Lucija (Lucy) and St. Dujam (Domnius). They are unique examples of Baroque rural architecture in Dalmatia.

In addition to stone, Pucisca on Brac today thrives on cattle-farming, agriculture, fishing and tourism and has many vineyards and olive groves. It is never crowded. It is a place where the sun shines and the wind blows on the rocks and sea, an ideal place for a holiday and in which to enjoy nature, good food and lovely beaches. You can anchor safely in the long bay and the many beaches by the crystal sea offer a range of water sports such as wind-surfing, paragliding, water-skiing, diving and other activities, such as cycling.

Pucisca on Brac has a varied cultural life, with many cultural events, the most important of which is the Pucisca Summer of Culture, consisting of classical, pop and jazz concerts, klapa performances, exhibitions, guest theatre productions, lectures, book launches, literary evenings and various sports events. For the past decade the International Summer School of Music has taken place during July and August in Pucisca on Brac, along with the Brac Summer Music Festival. The first public reading-room on the island was opened in Pucisca on Brac in 1868.
