Donji Humac is one of the oldest settlements on Brac. The various objects of the material culture dug out in the cave of Kopacina go back several millenniums in history. The village is situated on the sunny hill-side of Humac, hidden from the view from the sea where many pirates? ships used to cruise. The fertile fields stretch southwards and northwards with the traces of ancient pre-Croatian settlements on their edges. Humac has preserved the centuries-long continuity of an inhabited place with the original style of its rural architecture known on the coastline karst from times immemorial. There are only a few higher buildings that disturb the harmony of the cottages. Until recent times all the houseroofs were covered with slabs and thus seemed as if they were growing directly out of ground.
