 Monasteries
To the west of Bol there are two especially interesting, now deserted, Glagolitic monasteries: in Murvica and in Blaca. They both began their histories in caves: the first one in Zmajeva spilja (The Dragon's Cave) which still has the undeciphered apocalyptic reliefs in stone, with the traits of pagan beliefs. Monastery in Blaca begun its history in the cave of Ljubivitica. There, against the cliff, along with the growth of the island, the monastery and the estate buildings of unreal beauty, had been erected for centuries.
 Museum
When visiting Brac Museum in Skrip, we find ourselves in the hearth of the Illyrian cairns built in Greek style. When their fortification function had been forgotten, a magnificent Roman mausoleum was built over them in 3rd c. Many centuries after that, a Croatian fort with loop-holes at the top of it, was built. Today, it houses the island's collection of its history of resistance. This wall, each stone, from the Neolithic to the present day, is a testimony of intertwined cultures and ethnic groups of Brac.
 Dominican Monastery
Dominican monastery (situated on the east side of Bol) had great importance for spiritual and cultural life of Bol. Monastery museum contains exhibits of antique underwater archeology, baroque paintings, interesting numismatic collection, and much more.
