The centuries-old tradition of fishing on the coasts of Hvar has become an integral part of the island's history and the identity of its inhabitants.
The most imposing architectural site in the place, unique in the Adriatic region, is the church of St. Mary of Mercy. The fortress church was widened and fortified in 1575 following the Turkish attack under the guidance of the Turkish duke Uluč-Alija in 1571, who looted and burned Vrboska as well as most of the island. Fort Kaštilac is from the same time period, and it served as a guarding post.
Grapčeva Cave is situated near the ethno-eco village of Humac. It is the oldest archeological site in the Adriatic. It contains evidence of late Neolithic Hvar culture dating from between 4000 and 5000 BC.
