Dominating the North East coast of Brac is the vibrant town of Pucisca. More than any other of the island’s towns Pucisca’s prominence was built on the stone industry. For centuries the craftsmanship of its stone masons was prized in Western Europe and stone from its quarries was used in the construction of buildings the world over. In recent years the town has begun to focus on the more modern industry of tourism but the skill of its artisans is still evident in the hand-carved sculptures that adorn its buildings.

The town was founded at the foot of a deep bay from where it grew out along the coast. The largest houses, belonging to the nobles, were constructed on the shoreline and the more compact peasants’ houses took their places on the hills above.

Today visitors can enjoy the intimate character of this old town via a stroll through its winding streets or over a coffee in its many cafes and restaurants. The beach at the end of the bay is very popular with many watersports on offer including sailing and some of the island’s best diving. During the evenings Pucisca has something for every generation, from quiet restaurants by the ocean to disco bars with dancing until dawn.
