Culture
In Bobovišće, the Chapel of Saint Martin displays early Romanesque stylistic features. Its altar relief is attributed to 15th-century stonemasons who were influenced by the work of Nikola Firentinac in Trogir. The chapel is located at a strategic vantage point overlooking the maritime route through the Splitska vrata and the waters between Hvar, Brač and Šolta.
