Every building in the town of Pučišća on Brač island is made of local limestone....
We explore the age-old tradition of stone masonry in Croatia and Brač Island.
Stonemasonry traditions run deep in this village and this art is deeply connected to the history of Brač. Stone from this very island was famously used to build many well-known buildings throughout history, including the White House in Washington and Parliament House in Vienna, to name a couple!
Following in the footsteps of this age-old tradition, the only stonemasonry school in Croatia is still operating and located in Pučišća. Here students spend their days carving sculptures from Brač limestone using traditional, yet unconventional tools that would have been used by their ancestors to perform similar tasks.
This is one tradition that the local people and pupils of Brač are keeping alive!
Local Stories is a series dedicated to providing an insight into the quirky aspects of Croatian people, culture, and traditions!
