Brač (Italian Brazza) is an island in the Adriatic Sea, with an area of 396 km˛, making it the third largest island in the Adriatic. Its tallest peak, Vidova Gora, or Monte Sveti Vid, stands at 778 m, making it the highest island point in the Adriatic. The island has a population of 13,000, living in numerous little villages, ranging from the 'main village' Supetar, with more than 1,000 inhabitants, to Novo Selo, where only a dozen people live. The island is part of Dalmatia, Croatia.

Other villages that are the especially interesting from a tourist perspective are Bol, Škrip (the oldest village), Pučišća, Splitska, Nerežišće, Donji Humac, Gornji Humac, Dol, Sutivan, Sumartin, Praznice, Murvice, Povlja, Dračevica and many more.

Brač lives on tourism, and then on fishing and agriculture (especially wine and olives) and selling its precious, white stone (which is said to be built into the White House, too).

The population of the island is predominantly Croats and Catholics. Due to a heavy emigration, especially during the 20th century, many of the homes are now abandoned.
