A Historical Gem in Croatia

By Linda Tancs

Brač is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea. The oldest inhabited village on the island is Škrip, a sparsely populated hamlet where olive oil is produced. Not surprisingly, you’ll find a Museum of Olive Oil there offering tastings and sales. The medieval center boasts a tower that contains the Island of Brač Museum as well as a Roman mausoleum said to contain the remains of the daughter and wife of Emperor Diocletian, who ordered the quarry of local stone for the construction of his palace. A ferry service runs between Split and Brač.
