Brač is an island in the Adriatic Sea within Croatia, with an area of 396 km²396,000,000 m²
39,600 ha
152.896 miles²
, making it the third largest island in the Adriatic, and thus the largest in Dalmatia. The island has a population of 13,000, living in numerous little towns, ranging from the 'main town' Supetar, with more than 2,500 inhabitants, to Novo Selo, where only a dozen people live.

Today, Brač lives mostly on tourism, but fishing and agriculture (especially wine and olives) are very important too, as is selling its precious, white stone (which was used in building Diocletian's Palace in Split, and is built into the White House in Washington, DC, too).
