Summary
The Chapel of St Spyridon stands at a crossroads of old routes southeast of Sutivan. Local sources highlight its unusual dedication and its connection with the old route towards Mirca and Donji Humac.
Local tradition links the chapel with the protection of olive growers and oil makers; the public sources available do not give a precise date for the building.
History and purpose
The Chapel of St Spyridon is one of the smaller churches of Sutivan, on the historic route from Sutivan towards Mirca and the former parish of Donji Humac. Tourism and planning sources confirm its place in this religious landscape.
Structure and traces of the past
The dedication is unusual on Brač: a local description recalls that St Spyridon was a bishop of Cyprus and a wonderworker, while Sutivan tradition links him with the protection of craftspeople, olive growers and oil makers. This choice of saint reflects connections between devotion, work and the landscape of the old routes.
Access and visiting
The chapel is beside old routes, outside the centre of the settlement. The marked point is approximate; check the actual route, passability and property boundaries before walking or driving there.
