Description

At the very end of the Makarska Riviera (or at the beginning, if it is from the east), is Gradac, the largest place in the Upper Makarska littoral, a municipal center with 3615 inhabitants.
In addition to traditional farming, fishing and olive growing, they are engaged in tourism and hospitality.
The beautiful beach of Gornja Wala, south of the port, the longest on the Makarska Riviera attracts many tourists. The first hotel was built back in 1919.
Today Gradac is a well-known tourist destination with all the necessary catering and tourist facilities, as well as numerous ways to relax, rest and recreation.
Rich archaeological finds speak of its past from the Roman times, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Car K. Porfirogenet mentions the medieval town of Lapčanj (Labinac), and it is also mentioned by the king of purchase in 1417. The oldest Lapčan in the 17th century changes its main defensive position and name in Gradac. The remains of the old tower from the 16th century are preserved, and the sacred monuments are valuable. The 19th century Mihovil and the Church of St. Anthony at the 18th cemetery.
A really wonderful place for a vacation.
