Splitska

History of Splitska

The village was settled by Romans, when they came on Brač to mine stones which were used to build the Diocletian Palace and many other fabulous buildings throughout Europe.

The first quarry is a just a few hundred meters from the main road which passes Splitska.

The first inhabitants in Splitska were from Škrip (village above Splitska). When they settled in Splitska they built a church called Sv. Marija (St.Mary).

The then 13th century village was abandoned because the inhabitants were threatened by pirates from Omiš. This danger stopped in the year 1444, which led people to settle it again.
