Škrip – the oldest place on Brač, ideal for a peaceful vacation
Škrip is a town on the island of Brač , located in the interior of the island, just a 15-minute drive from Supetar and 7.8 minutes from Splitska. Known for its rich history and authentic, protected architecture of the old town center, Škrip is the perfect destination for guests looking for a different stay on Brač.
History and sights
The history of Škrip goes back more than 3000 years, making it the oldest settlement on the island of Brač. The first inhabitants were the Illyrians, who built defensive walls and fortifications in this area, the remains of which are still visible in the structure of the town today. With the arrival of the Romans, Škrip gained even greater importance as an administrative and economic center, associated with the exploitation of Brač stone, which was used in large construction projects, such as, for example, Diocletian's Palace in Split.
During the Middle Ages, Škrip maintained a continuous population, and the Cerinić family left a strong mark on the development of the town by building fortifications and defensive structures, among which the 16th-century Kaštel Cerineo (Cerinić) stands out. It is thanks to these layers of history – from Illyrian walls, Roman remains to Renaissance buildings – that Škrip today represents a unique historical entity on the island of Brač.
We carry out cultural and historical attractions:
- Old part of town
