Nerežišća is located on the crossroads of the island’s main roads and on the slopes of the largest plain on Brač. For a long time this picturesque little place was an administrative and business centre of the island where the dukes of Brač kept court. A beautiful Church of Our Lady of Carmel is surrounded by symmetrical blocks of nobility mansions build in stone and richly ornamented. Small plebeian stone houses, narrow little streets and small squares add to the charm and ambience of this Dalmatian village. The people of Nerežišća organize the Memorial “Frane Senjković” - balun o ruke as a part of a festival in honour of St. Margaret - the patroness of Nerežišća. This is a unique and centuries-old game once played on the Mediterranean islands. This authentic spot is definitely worth seeing.
