Jelsa Snugged at the eastern border of the ancient Roman ager, with its elegant facades from the past century, the town of Jelsa takes as back to the thousand-year old civilisation of the island. A nearby cave called Grapceva spilja is the cradle of the Hvar civilisation significant for the entire neolithic Mediterranean. We cannot state with certainty who has built Tor, the mysterious fortress above the town - Illyrians or Greeks? Queries about Jelsa make us mediate on times past.
