Bol is a town on the south
of the island of BraÄ
in
theSplit-Dalmatia county
of Croatia
, population
1.661 (2005).
Bol (its
name derive from the latin word "vallum") is renowned for
its most popular beach, the Zlatni rat
("Golden cape"). It is a
promontory composed mostly of pebble rock that
visibly shifts with the tidal movement, a unique sight. The sea at
Zlatni rat and, indeed, the entire area is quite crystalline (and
somewhat colder than usual), due to the strong current of the
strait it is situated in. On a still day the stones on the
sea-floor that are 30 feet down look only an arm's length away, and
there are spectacular pine trees that grow down the middle of
Zlatni rat (there is a beach on either side of the horn). Bol
itself is a very popular tourist destination and has a number of
harbourside bars and restaurants.
The Dominican church in Bol contains a number of paintings by
Tripo Kokolja.
