Visit the still-active quarry that supplied stone for the White House and Diocletian's Palace, and watch carvers at work in a centuries-old stonemasonry school.
What to expect
A scenic coastal drive brings you to Pučišća, a harbour town built entirely from its own pale limestone. Inside the working school, students and master carvers shape stone with tools little changed in generations. Outside, the quarry itself — still supplying restoration stone worldwide — is a startling white gash in the hillside above turquoise water.
Good to know
Best combined with lunch in Pučišća's harbour; visits run around school hours on weekdays, so confirm timing ahead.
