In the mid-16th century, life began under the cave of Ljubitovica on the southern side of the island of Brač. This is where Glagolitic priests settled with the aim of leading a true hermit's life and living out their faith. Blaca Desert was the last of the hermitages in the region of Murvica to be established, but it endured the longest and reached the highest level of development. It was founded on community, a simple way of life, prayer, and work. All members of the Desert adhered to a set of rules that contained all their obligations and served as the foundation of their progress. Through constant construction, expansion, and renovation, an impressive and unique monastery complex has emerged from the humble space of Ljubitovica cave. The wealth of Blaca Desert is best evidenced by its library, printing press, observatory with a telescope, piano, gramophone, and more. The monks adorned their space with stylish furniture and artworks that can be seen in their gallery. The Blaca complex existed for 413 years. Since 1994, it has functioned as a museum institution within the Brač Cultural Center. Thanks to this, this unique cultural monument has been restored and is accessible to visitors year-round. Within the Center, active efforts are underway to protect, valorize, and revitalize the Blaca complex, with the ultimate goal of recognizing Blaca Desert as a UNESCO-protected heritage site.
