Pustinja Blaca
Croatia
About
The largest central Dalmatian island rarely reveals all of its secrets, even to regular visitors. One of these is the sacred hermitage in Blaca, and the monastery which was built under the cliffs of Brac in 1555 by Glagolite priests who fled before the Ottoman conquests. On land granted to them by the prince of Brac, these Glagolites built an impressive structure which has been the center of culture and scholarly events on the island for centuries.
