| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This photo is taken on beautiful Croatian island Brač. This is museum of island settled in kula Radojković which dated back to 14th century.
Škrip is the oldest settlement at the island, much older than any written document about its origin. The Illyrians settled here in the 11th century and it is from those days that Škrip had become an Illyrian settlement at the location of the cemetery of today. From this cemetery you can see a wide valley stretching from Postira and Splitska to the inlands. In the historical part of the village there is Kula Radojkovic in which the museum of the island. The museum consists of subjects (monuments, photopgraphs, pictures, books, archeological findings) of many periods worth seeing. Many tourists and visitors of the island necessarily come to see this ancient settlement.
Latest archeological research discover that some of stoned walls that surround Skrip are over 3000 years old.
This is stitch from 2 photos. Position from which I took those shots were about 3 meters from entrance so the only way to get whole building and tower were to take 2 separate photos and stitch them together. |

Hi Darko, excellent shot. The whole Mediterranean was being used even in the time of the Phoenicians and King Solomon (about 1,000 BCE) so that's no surprise. TFS, great note. Your lighting is nice.
