Sacred place with history traces since VI. ct
Old church on isle of Brač. Nice view from the garden behind the church.
Unique architecture concept.
In the middle of the village, the massive remains of the large Old Christian Basilica of St. John the Baptist from the 5th-6th century. (partly to the height of the trusses), one of the most important monuments of that time in Dalmatia. It included a baptistery, which in the 9th and 10th centuries the Benedictines partially renovated into a monastery sanctuary (originally a dilapidated basilica at that time already abandoned). It is next to the fully preserved baptistery at the Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, the second, albeit only partially preserved, baptismal chapel in Croatia. Fragments of frescoes from the time of their origin, ie from the 5th - 6th century, also remained in it. In the 18th and 19th centuries, another reconstruction followed, respectively. extension of the nave and chapel. From the early Christian basilica, a remarkable baptistery has been preserved to this day, which later served as the tomb of a local saint, St. John of Povlja. Next to the church is a fortified tower from the 16th century. built to protect against the Turks, twice later rebuilt.
Come to Povlja and do not go to the church and the tour of the basilica is not complete. Wonderful. Lupin Fra Luke is a wonderful man
