History of Stanici

The old village of Stanici is situated about 300 meters from the Adriatic sea. It's a small village with only a dozen of old stone houses. Old inhabitants of Stanici formerly were fisherman's, and less farmers because they had just a little of agricultural land. First inhabitants of Stanici came to this location before eight generations from village Zvecanje in middle Poljica. Legend tells that there was a father with three sons, one son came to the island Brac, the other to Omis City and third to today's Stanici. From three Stanic families today the biggest lives in the place of Stanici. Village of Stanici is (and always was) part of district Omis.

After 1962. when Adriatic highway was build inhabitants of old village Stanici have moved closer to the sea coast because of growing tourism. The new settlement Stanici is built just by the sea coast, on long pebble beach, in bay known as Velika luka (meaning Long bay).

Stanici today, because of beautiful, long, natural pebble beach, crystal clean sea and kind hosts is famous turistic place in Central Dalmatia.

 

History of Omis

Omis is founded on left side of river Cetina, beneath steep hill-side of Omis Dinara. Omis is sourrounded with river Cetina in southwest and with sea in south and southeast side. So Omis is naturaly well protected and that is why it was easy to defend Omis in past, and also that is the reason why today Omis (located in triangle of mountain, river and sea) is unique pearl of Croatian coast.
Omis was buildt as down town of fortress Starigrad (Fortica) that was buildt on top of the hill beneath Omis. Because of constant danger from land and from the sea Omis was in middle ages surrounded with city walls. On the east (land) side the city walls were strengthen with towers and on the northwest side with tower Peovica (Mirabella). City walls that were protecting Omis were removed in 19th century, but even today there are remains of them: east city gate and east tower Turjun. West city gate of Omis are removed in 1862.

During the history Omis was known as Oneum, Onaeum, Olmissium, Almissium, Almivssium, Almyssium, and during the domanation of Venice Omis was known as Almissa. Scientists belive that the origin of name Omis is Slavs word holm (hum), meaning hill, place on hill, or historic city of Oneum was named after river Cetina that was known (in time of Greek settlers) as Nestos.

In Middle age Omis was important pirate port in Adriatic sea. Pirates in Omis had light but fast ships and thay also had naturaly well protected port in canyon of river Cetina. Omis was especialy strong in the time when dukes Kacic ruled and other cities in Adriatic must to pay for free sailing. After Kacic, dukes Šubić were lords of Omis, Horvat brothers that were under the protection of Bosnian king Tvrtko I, and after them Bosnian duke Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić, then Banus Ivaniš Velipić and Stjepan Kosaca.
