History and architecture

Vladimir Nazor’s Birthplace in Postira

Postira · historic harbour centreOther names: Rodna kuća Vladimira Nazora u PostiramaRenaissance complex; writer born in 1876Reference point based on the official WFS boundary of protected cultural property RST-0250-1965; the centre of the boundary is not a confirmed entrance.

Summary

The house associated with the Lazanić family in the centre of Postira is where Vladimir Nazor was born. It connects family and literary history with the development of an island coastal settlement.

The house where he was born in Postira should be distinguished from the house of his childhood in Bobovišća na Moru.

A house in the historic harbour

The official historical description identifies the Lazanić complex among the stone houses of Postira’s harbour. Its fortified and prominent family architecture is part of the settlement’s early modern development. Nazor’s birth in 1876 gave the house special commemorative significance.

Two Brač locations in a life story

The house of Vladimir Nazor in Bobovišća na Moru is associated with his childhood and later returns. Postira is his birthplace. The two sites belong to the same life story, but their names, photographs and locations should be clearly distinguished.

Location and viewing

The official mapped boundary of the birthplace helps with orientation in the old centre; it does not mark an entrance. Before visiting the interior, check with the local tourist board whether entry is possible; respect the residential use of the surrounding houses.
