The Blaca Hermitage

In-between Bol and Milna, there is another UNESCO sight worth visiting. The Blaca Hermitage, a monastery built into a cliff, is located on the southern side of Brač Island. The hermitage was originally established in 1551 by two Glagolitic monks, and continued by successive generations of monks until 1963 with the death of Father Niko Miličević. This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2007 where it was stated: “The Blaca karst valley extends from Dragovode to the wide sea cove where the Chapel of the Lady on the Beach is located. The hermitage is accessed by a wide road from the Blaca cove or by the walking trail from the inner part of the island, through Nerežišća, Žurmo pool and hamlet Dragovode with houses that once belonged to earlier Blaca colonists and shepherds. The villages Obršje and Smrka also belonged to the Hermitage.” Changing its purpose throughout the years didn’t change its beauty. Seeing the site of Blace Hermitage will be one of the most exciting experiences for travelers who absolutely adore history and architecture.
