Marmore lavdata Brattia

Owing to its position at the heart of Dalmatia the island of Brač has always been settled, but also lacked a bigger town centre of any strategic and commercial importance that could match other island centres in the eastern Adriatic. Still, while there is no evidence of an ancient town ever existing on it, the stone of Brač was used, paradoxically enough, in the construction of many ancient buildings in the larger centres of the Empire. Such is the case with the Late-Antique Diocletian’s Palace, built almost entirely with stone from the Brač quarries.
