Pucisca

For as long as anyone can remember people in Pucisca have been working with stone, living for it and living from it. Although it sometimes made their lives harder, it never lessened the affection they had for it.

Stone-masonry is here a centuries old profession which is confirmed by some worked out and exhausted quarries. But the stores of good stone are still very rich. Since the Ancient times, Brac had been the source of excellent stone for the stupendous buildings.
