The book presents a systematic overview of ecclesiastical architecture on the island of Brač across various historical periods: Early Christian churches—sites from the 6th and 7th centuries featuring preserved mosaics and baptisteries (such as those in Povlja, Postira, and Supetar). Medieval and pre-Romanesque churches—characteristic small stone churches built in the island's interior and on hilltops. Large parish churches—sacred structures built from the renowned Brač stone after the population had moved down to the coast, such as the Neo-Romanesque Church of Christ the King in Selca (known as the "Brač Cathedral") or the church in Ložišća, which boasts the island's most beautiful bell tower. Monasteries and hermitages—historical complexes such as the Blaca Hermitage and the Dominican monastery in Bol.
