Selca

In the Brač hinterland, only a kilometre away from the sea, lies the culturally rich town of Selca, near which are some of the most beautiful beaches of Brač

DISCOVER

Discover everything Selca has to offer

Bay and beach Lučica
A secluded beach surrounded by a pine forest only 10 minutes from the town centre. If you continue along the coast, you will pass by several coves and reach the semi-abandoned village of Rasotica. Near Rasotica, you will notice an abandoned house that belonged to Brother Andrija Doritić, a Franciscan and a very important figure in the history of Sumartin and Dalmatia.
Bird Harbour in Povlja
Protected pebble bay ideal for swimming and sunbathing. This is the largest beach in Povlja suitable for children and equipped with showers. In the past, the Bird Harbour served as a pier for ships that loaded stone from the nearby quarry
Church of Christ the King
This colossal, neo-Romanesque church with its 45-metre height dominates the square and thus rightly bears another name: Brač Cathedral. In the church there is a statue of the Heart of Jesus, by the most famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović. The statue is a special symbol of peace cast from ammunition, i.e., shell casings left after the surrounding battles in the Second World War

Povlja, a picturesque town nearby Selca, characterized by peace, quiet and cultural heritage, is ideal for a vacation far from the hustle and bustle of the summer heat. Povlja is surrounded by numerous coves, which makes it perfect for enjoying the abundance of sun and crystal-clear sea

LOOK AT THE PHOTO GALLERY

If Povlja is your destination, don’t miss visiting one of the most spacious sacred buildings of its kind in Croatia, the early Christian basilica with a baptistery from the 6th century. This is the place of origin of the famous “Povaljska listina”, one of the oldest and most important Croatian monuments written in the Croatian Cyrillic script whose template dates back to 1184.
