SVETI MARTIN

Brač belongs to the group of Mediterranean islands that stand out for their large number of well-preserved churches from the Early Middle Ages (9^th-12^th century). One of the sacral monuments from this period located on the western side of the island is the Church of St. Martin, which features a valuable altar stone relief from the 15^th century depicting the Virgin and Child and a scene from the life of St. Martin as he shares his cloak with a beggar in the form of Christ. The church is located in an elevated position south of Gornja Bobovišća, towards Milna. This location offers a view of the sea route through the straits of the Split Gates (Splitska Vrata) and the waters between the islands of Hvar, Brač and Šolta.
