BLACA

Formerly the famous hermitage of the Glagolitic Order erected on the high, steep cliff, Blaca in one of the most beautiful mountain resorts on Brač today. This had already been noted in many scientific and travel-descriptions.
Blaca is a unique monument on our coast. A visit here is not to be missed. Blaca is situated on the fringes of a long valley, in the southern part of the island, between Bol and Milna, 3,5 kilometers inland from the sandy Blatačka uvala (The Harbour of Blaca).
Blaca was established in the 16th century by the Glagolitic priests from Poljica. .

This small hermitage of Blaca houses some objects of great monumental value. The church built in the Renaissance manner was completed in 1588 and dedicated to the Ascension of Mary.

From the ethnographic point of view, the kitchen with the spacious open-air fire place is especially interesting as an example of a gathering point.

Blaca's furniture will indisputably attract attention. We would, however, call your attention to the astronomical instruments of this world-wide known observatory, then to the rich collection of ancient weapons and old watches and finally, to the exceptionally rich library with still a number of unexamined archives, many of them written in Croatian cyrillic (e.g. poljičica).

But Bol is even more than all this.
