House of Vladimir Nazor and the Surrounding Houses, Bobovišća

The house of the poet Vladimir Nazor is located on the north side of the harbour in Bobovišća on Brač. Visitors can imagine here the childhood of one of the best-known Croatian poets.

The complex consists of a row of three houses with a ground floor, first floor and high attic, with a row of dormers following the window axes. On the side sections two external stone staircases are placed symmetrically. The original appearance of the middle part was changed by rebuilding from 1933 to 1937, but part of the original interior with furniture, books and photographs has been preserved. The memorial significance arises from the fact that Nazor spent part of his childhood here, and the environmental value of residential architecture from the beginning of the 19th century is also notable.

The complex is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-4329.
