The Jaw-Dropping Blaca Hermitage, Bol Croatia

There is a beauty on Brač Island that extends past Croatia’s most unique beach. For me the real beauty found in Bol is the not-to-be-missed site of the jaw-dropping Blaca hermitage, also referred to as the Blaca monastery or Pustinja Blaca in Croatian. One of several hermitages on the island, the Blaca monastery is located on the southern side of Brač Island. It began in a stone cave where a couple of monks of the Croatian Glagolitic Order used it as a place of solitude to dedicate themselves to God.

The monastery in Blaca was in 2007 thankfully added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. I for one can see why, what I can’t see, is how it hadn’t made a list sooner! It’s a true inspiration; no words on a page can give you the real sense of this cultural attraction.

Way back in the early part of the 16th century…
