MILNA BRAC, Milna is the best natural harbour on the island of Brac. Nice coves with sand and pebble beaches stretch in the vicinity of the harbour (Pasika, Osibova, Lucice, Maslinova). A nice public beach is in the cove of Vlaska. Sports and recreational facilities include football, basketball and volleyball playgrounds, boccia grounds and table tennis. Milna ACI Marina, the only marina on the island, has 200 berths in the sea and 20 places on the land. Milna developed at the beginning of the 17th century. The parish church Our Lady of the Annunciation from 1783 has a monumental Baroque front and a cycle of stuccoes (Rococo) from the early 19th century. The late Baroque altarpiece The Annunciation is a work by Sebastian Ricci. Apart from the sculptures of Sts. Joseph and Jerome in the parish, Ivan Rendic has made a tombstone of Stjepan Tomas with Secession and folklore motifs. In the cove of Osibova are the ruins of a small Gothic church. - During the Napoleonic wars, the Russian fleet had its base in Milna (1800).
