occupations include farming, stone-masonry
and fishing; a fish cannery. Postira is
located on the regional road.
Postira was first mentioned in 1347 under
the name Postrena. The parish church,
built in the 16th century, was later reconstructed;
the only remains of the original structure
include an apse in the shape of a fort.
The church features the Way of the Cross,
a work by three painters from the 18th/19th
century, as well as several paintings
by the Venetian Baroque school. - Among
residential structures, a very interesting
building is the birth-house of the poet
Vladimir Nazor (1876-1949), with the Renaissance
gable and inscriptions. - East of Postira,
in the cove of Lovrecina, are the ruins
of a large early Christian basilica from
the 5th-6th century; two early Christian
sarcophagi and fragments of Roman plastics
