STOBREC, a town in central Dalmatia, 6 km southeast of Split. Chief occupations include farming, wine production, fruit growing, vegetable and tourism. The coastal region west of the town is characterized by precipices. Stobrec lies on the main road (M2, E65).
Originally a Greek colony, Stobrec became -later the Roman settlement Epetium. The monastery buildings were reconstructed on the ruins of the early Christian basilica of St. Lawrence, and where the apse of the basilica used to be, the small early Christian small church of St. Lawrence was erected (later Our Lady of Mount Carmel).
At the classical times Stobrec was a signifícant sea-port town and, along with Tragurion (Trogir), the most ancient urban area on the eastem side of theAdriatic.Itwasfounded andnamed Epetion by the Greek colonists from the the island of Vis (Issa) as early as the 3rd C. BC on the site of an older Illyrian settlement. Epetion developed close commercial relations with the neighbouring Illyrian settlements. The most impressive evidence of the existence ofthe ancient Epetion is the remains ofa Greek wall in the north ofthe peninsula. This wall represents a rare example ofthe city fortifications in this area dating back to the centuries BC. The introduction of Christiamty marked a new era in the history of Epetion. This period saw the building ofalate fifth-century basilica ofwhich the remains are still visible in the very centre of the town. It was dedicated to St. Lawrence, a Roman martyr, after whom the town was named (etymology by Father Frane Bulié). In the course of time Stobrec had become a coastal region parish with the seat in Klis. The seventh century put an end to a millennium long urban life of Stobrec transforming it into a rural settlement.
The present - day Stobrec lies on a peninsula sprawling to the mainland. Surrounded by the sea with the population of 4000 and its accommodation facilities, it offers worthwhile excursions to the Mosor mountain and to the islands of Šolta and Brac off Split. Nowadays Stobrec is a part of Split metropolitan area and 7 km far Diocletian's Palaca is within easy reach as well.
