Nečujam
NEČUJAM
The youngest village of the island, is the largest and according to some the most beautiful cove of the island.
It is the centre of the island’s tourism and it offers a pleasant holiday to different types of tourists and a lot of them are traditional visitors for decades.
The coves of Necujam (Piskera, Maslinica, Podkamenica, Sumpljivina and Tiha) are a great potential for development of nautical and day-trip tourism.
The Latin name of this place is Vallis Surda – deaf cove, because of its size. Namely, the cove of Necujam is one of the larger on Solta so most of the sounds get lost in it. The best example for that is the fact that when you come by boat to Necujam at night hours, you can hear the sound from the disco-club only when you reach the shore.
This kind of natural characteristic was obviously appreciated by great artists as Marulic and Hektorovic who right here found inspiration for their works of art.
In today’s archaeological localities can be found the traces of ancient life.
In the cove of Piskera the remains of Roman farm building were found, while in the surroundings were found graves, some pottery and money.
Under the sea we can see the remains of the walls by which the cove was enclosed and turned into a fishery.
The remains of Roman necropolis were found in the vicinity and also near the cove of Supetar.
