Donji Humac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donji Humac is one of the oldest settlements on Brac, about 2 kilometers from Nerezisca, the previous capital of the island and home of Brac's aristocracy. Cultural objects dug out from the cave of Kopacina (1 km from Donji Humac) span several millennia in history. On the side of the pre-Romanesque church of St. Elias there are the remains of a Roman mausoleum, and on the wall of the medieval church of St. Lucas there is the first sketch of a boat in Croatian medieval art. In the parish church of St. Fabian and Sebastian --with a baroque bell-tower--there is a fresco of Christ dating from the 12th century. Donji Humac is linked to Supetar --the current capital of Brac, and its frequent ferries to Split-- through a paved 8-km road.
