Brac Marble

We had a brief stop on the island of Brac on our way to Hvar. It is a beautiful island and a very interesting main town.

Brac is famous for its marble and provided the building materials for the Diocletian's Palace in Split. Less well known is the fact that it also provided the marble for the US White House. The buildings in Brac are not as grandiose!
