Lozisca
Lozisca has chosen its site in a very steep stone glade. The stone houses are strung one upon the other along the sloping lanes that stretch from the rather deep valley and reach to the top of the village.
Everything here is just a stone next to stone or a stone upon a stone. The high, large two-storey houses and the little stone cottages up to the end of the clearing. Lozisca is a munoment to the hard reality of the Brac karst and to the strange choice of theirs, of its inhabitants’ who choose the living stone and crevices to be the foundations of their dwellings in order to make room for a garden, or an olive-grove or a vineyard on the relatively fertile soil.
