Sveti Andrija (Croatian for Saint Andrew), sometimes also called Svetac (Croatian for saint) is an island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea. It is situated 14 nautical miles (26 km) from Komiža (a town on the island of Vis). It is uninhabited, although it used to have permanent residents. Remains of Byzantine origin can be found on the island. The population census on Svetac from 1951 was 51, but all of these people are now deceased. The last one of the group was an elderly woman who died in 2000. ^[1]
