SUPETAR

Supetar is the biggest town on island Brač. It is also the administrative, cultural, economic and touristic center of the island. Supetar (from St Peter) was mentioned for the first time in 15th century and in 1997 Supetar was granted a City status.

Church of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1604 on the foundation of the former basilica. Next to the church, you can see an extremely well-preserved early Christian mosaic. The mosaic is part of an early Christian Basilica of Saint Peter built in the 6th century. 1733 the reconstruction was finished in the Baroque style and that’s when church got its present appearance.
