Small town and port on the western part of the island. It is located at the end of the bay of the same name. Surrounding hills protect it from the north and south winds, and in summer it is exposed to maestral (light wind from the sea). There are fish factories, oil factory, shipyard, wine cellar, and dry-klin for figs. It has two swimming beaches. The coastal area with few small islands is good fishing area. The road connects all settlements on the island. Vela Luka was inhabited already in prehistoric times (the finds from Neolithic in Vela Špilja). The remans of the Roman architecture were discovered on the site Beneficium (probably villa rustica). The church of St. Ivan (St. John) with one nave is located on the site Gradina. It was mentioned for the first time in 1415, and it has Gothic ceiling and belfry "na preslicu". The land estate owners from the island of Brac had their magazines on the waterfront - the oldest one is from 1480 has the citadel in the same complex.
