Povlja (island of Brac)



 
 
Povlja is situated 10 km east of Sumartin, a ferry port on the central Dalmatian island of Brac that is connected to the cities of Split and Makarska by daily ferry lines. The place was built in the bay of the same name, whose inhabitants have traditionally lived off of wine and olive growing, as well as off of fishing, while in ancient times Roman galleys used to be anchored in Povlja. Several archeological sites from ancient times and medieval edifices can be found in Povlja. The place is surrounded by numerous bays (Travna, Smokvica, Ticja luka and Tatinja) with different types of beaches, while there is a safe harbor in the place itself. If you would like to play sports while on holiday, there are many tennis courts and a soccer field at your disposal. We recommend water sports such as: sailing, surfing and diving. Due to fishing and locally grown food, your hospitable hosts will offer you tasty dishes.

We recommend: ruins of an early Christian Basilica from the 5th century / Croatia's only octagonal baptistery with dome / ruins of a Benedictine monastery and tower / places nearby: Supetar, Selca, Sumartin and Postira

How to get there: from the ferry port Supetar: 40 km on the island's main road to Selca, where the road branches off for Povlja / from the ferry port Sumartin: 10 km on the island's main road to Selca, where the road branches off for Povlja

Did you know: that Croatia's only octagonal baptistery with dome, dating from Early Christian times, can be found in Povlja. / that there is an inscription by Master Radovan chiseled on the lintel of the Benedictine church, dating back to 1250, known nowadays as Povaljska listina. Today, this valuable work of art, the oldest example of Western Cyrillic script in Croatia, is kept in the Archeological Museum in Split.
