Dear
guests, allow us to take you back to distant past through
several brief accounts.
It’s
AD 1706 and the three Marchi brothers are finishing
the votive chapel above the bay of Maslinica, the name
of which vividly evokes a landscape dotted with olive
trees on the west coast of the island of Šolta. It was
in1703 when the brothers got permission from the Venetian
authorities to build a tower, a village and a church.
Pirate attacks were becoming more and more frequent
and with considerable efforts of the colonists two years
later a castle was erected together with defence walls
and a prominent tower as the last point of defence...
Today,
after three centuries of tumultuous history, the Martinis
- Marchi castle welcomes you into its chambers
that echo with the silent whisper of times gone by…
...the
staff of the castle wish you a pleasant stay...
