About Brač/Selca
Selca sits on the Pliša hills on the east side of Brač, about a kilometre inland. Stone masonry made it grow quickly, and it is often called the cultural heart of the island, with 14 monuments and 30 memorial plaques, more per head than anywhere else on Brač. The neo-Romanesque Church of Christ the King, 45 metres high, is known as the Brač Cathedral, and Selca raised the world's first monument to Leo Tolstoy shortly after his death. The Italian army burned much of the village in 1943. The municipality of about 1,600 people also takes in the harbour villages of Sumartin and Povlja. The homes are in and around Selca, typically with four bedrooms.
