The place Rogač means in Croatian. It originated as a port of
Grohote in the 18th century. At first there were only fishermen's
houses and small taverns, protected by a two-storey baroque
fort.
But the bay was not always uninhabited, numerous ruins have been
found here, in the Uvala Banje ruins of the Roman "Villea rusticae"
from the 3rd - 4th century. Jhr. with walls of thermae, mosaics and
graves and on the southwestern shore wall remains in the water,
which probably belonged to an ancient port, because the sea level
has risen in the last 2000 years by about 1.70m.
In the 19th Jhd. was built on the ruins of an older church, the
church of Teresa of Avila. On the opposite side of the harbor there
is a casella - a house for disinfection of ships as in the harbors
Stomorska, Maslinica and Straćinska, At the lower end of the bay in
a pine grove in the 14th century was built the summer villa of the
Miladinov family with a park. In 1920 a small shipyard was
established, which is still in operation today. The ethnographic
collection at Nikola Mateljan, one of the most productive olive
growers on the island, is worth a visit. Grohote, the oldest
village and center of the island is 2km away and a nice destination
to have a coffee in the historic marketplace.
