Milna
This is one of the finest baroque villages on the Croatian coast and the best port on Brač. The families from Nerežišće founded this village at the end of the XVI. century. The village developed around the castle of the Cerinić family who built there chapel of St.Mary. Legend tells of an English lord connected with this castle (it’s name is “Anglišćina”).
The parish church of Our Lady of Annunciation (1783) has a very original facade using the earlier chapel of St.Mary as its sacristy.Of interest are painting of Annunciation by the late baroque Venetian painter Gaspare Diziani.
The village is dominated by typical twostores buildings, owned by Milna shipbuilders and captains in the XVIII. and XIX. century. Their sailing ships travelled throughout the Mediterranean and beyond to far away oceans. Additionally the typical “bracera” boats, used throughout the Adriatic, were built in these shipyards.
The islet of Mrduja is situated in Splitska Vrata, the sea area between Brač and Šolta that looks like a lake. There is a fortified Renaissance-baroque chapel, while the islet is often the subject of jokes between the people of Brač and Šolta.
Bobovišća and Bobovišća n/m (on the sea)
The old village of Bobovišća nested itself on a sunny slope above the sea, with parish church of St.George. The parish office holds valuable baroque laces.
The early Croatian chapel of St. Martin is placed some fifteen minutes walking distance from the village towards Milna. From this location (235 metres above sea level), there is a beautiful view to the islands of Hvar, Šolta and the open sea towards the island of Vis.
Ložišće
The neo-historic bell-tower dominates the small settlements of houses built in the late baroque folk style.This is the masterwork of Ivan Rendić (a sculpture and architect).
The early Romanesque church of Our Lady of Stomorica (from the XII.century) is situated to the south-east of the village,on the road between Ložišća and Mirca. The stone bridge (XIX. century) is on the way to Stomorica.
Two marinas of Milna have a capacity of 300 berths and all the requirements for safe anchoring…
We highly recommand visiting picturesque settlement – eco ethno village of Podhume.
