Splitska is located 8 km east from Supetar. The settlement developed in the 16th century, after the foundation in the 13th century when the pirates from Omis destroyed it. The church consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary in Stomorna was built on the foundations of an older church from 1228. The altar pale of the Virgin with Saints has painted Leadro Bassano, a renaissance painter from Venice in 1577. The court of the family Cerinic was built in 1577. In the ancient time was in Splitska a port, from which the stone from the island Brac was transported for the construction of the Diocletian's palace in Split. Today you can see near Splitska in the stone-quarry Rasohe a relief of Heracles, which probably has been made by slaves, who worked in the quarry.

The island of Brač is the highest and third largest island in the Adriatic Sea. The island is well known for its quality stone used to build many palaces. This is the island with the only stone mason school in Croatia.
