Location of Sumartin

History of Sumartin
Sumartin is the youngest town on the island of Brač. From the 12th century, Sumartin belonged to the abbey of Povlja. In 1320 the Bay of Sumartin was still called Sitno, then in 1646 refugees reached the island. In the 17th century, the Turkish invasion devastated the region. Many Christian families had to flee from the territories of present-day Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The newly arriving settlers build a church in honour of St. Martin on the foundations of a ruined Byzantine-style building. St. Martin was their patron saint, the town was named after him. As the soil was unfit for farming, the sea provided a livelihood for settlers. Locals became fishermen and shipwrights.
In the mid-18th century, a Franciscan poet and monk, Andrija Kačić Miošić had a monastery built. It is still the most important landmark in Sumartin. The number of local residents gradually increased until 1784 and then halved due to an epidemic. Nowadays, the chief occupations are farming, viniculture, olive growing and tourism.
