Landmarks
A historic burial ground from the 14th and 15th centuries is situated at the locality "Na Mašete". Most of some 40 grave markers are simple flat slates, but the site also contains several gabled tombstones (stećci), which feature relief carvings depicting fighters and hunting expeditions.[5]
The sizable stone Parish Church of the Holy Name of Jesus, constructed in 1935 over the foundations of an earlier church, stands as the main religious center; it was significantly updated through renovations in the 1970s and 80s. The village also holds historical significance with its Chapel of St Clement, a 19th-century structure once used by the pastor, which reflects the expansion of St Clement's cult from Poljica, where he is honored as the guardian of cattle.[6]
