Blaca Hermitage

Blaca Hermitage is located on the south side of the island of Brač, between the villages of Bol and Milna. It was founded in the 16^th century by Glagolitic priests from the village of Poljica who came here when running away from the Ottoman Army. Refugee priests found shelter in a cave partitioned with stones. As the Hermitage was built of stones from a nearby quarry, it blended perfectly with its surroundings over the centuries of existence. Today there is a museum in which old furniture, kitchen, dining rooms and various stylish fittings used in the rooms are exhibited. The particularity of this museum collection is the variety of astronomical devices, a rich collection of antique weapons and watches and a rich library.
