The village of Broce on the Pelješac peninsula is one of the representatives of a rich but insufficiently explored traditional culture. Oral literary elements of Broce are manifested in customs, beliefs, and rural traditions that are transmitted through practices, storytelling, maintenance, and repetition of rituals that shape the traditional culture of the village. The system of brotherhoods and various artifacts found in old buildings and sacred objects are key evidence for understanding the traditional way of life in this region. The sacred heritage of Broce includes churches, chapels, and shrines. Religious buildings are important gathering places and spiritual centers of the local community. As a result, the rich church-folk heritage includes various cultural and religious customs. According to testimonies of older residents of Broce, processions through the village were held and various festivities were organized. Festivities were important occasions that brought together the people of Broce, as well as people from other places, mostly from Ston and surrounding villages. Broce is located at the beginning of the eastern part of the Pelješac peninsula, and in geographical, historical, and cultural context, it is connected to the town of Ston, which is well-known in literature due to its historical significance and importance in the Dubrovnik Republic. The area of Ston and its surroundings was an important trading center in the Middle Ages. In addition to salt production and trade, shipbuilding and agriculture also developed. Broce village has established itself as a fishing village since then and played an important role in the economic development of Ston. The rich fishing tradition dates back to ancient times; fishing has always been one of the main sources of income for the local population, and even today the village is known for fishing, boats, and traditional fishing methods. Many residents of Broce have worked in Ston performing various jobs and have been connected to the people of Ston in various ways, so Ston and Broce have long shared a social and cultural connection and a rich cultural heritage, as evidenced by many cultural and religious customs that relate to both communities. Contemporary field research and interviews with people are the basis of this paper, in which oral literary elements and traditional culture of the Broce-Ston area are studied interdisciplinary. Folktales, legends, songs, and proverbs that are transmitted orally represent an important part of the local traditional culture. Many songs and stories are rooted in the social values of rural habits and are often connected to specific events, places, and localities in the Ston and Broce areas. Oral tradition is sometimes transmitted on special occasions such as gatherings, weddings, and holidays, and thus represents an important way of transmitting cultural heritage within the community. The customs studied are focused on church-folk heritage (processions, rituals, beliefs) during the holiday season throughout the year, wedding customs, and the fishing tradition of the village. Oral literary examples are recorded in the original dialectal form.
