The settlement is constructed mostly in a typical mediterranean style. Stone built houses, neat little alleys, peace and quiet are the initial evidence of the cultural splendour of former times. It developed in the 16th century when an aristocratic family decided to build a fortress and church there, which is today's Gospa od Blagovijesti parish church with the the most beautiful altar-piece on the island. During the 17th century, Milna was the island's administrative center, therefore some of the most beautiful edifices and paintings on the island of Brac can be found in Milna. Some other curiosities valuable mentioning are richly decorated Rococo facade of the parish church and the ruins of a gothic church in the bay of Osibovo. | | | | |
