Geography and Places of interest
Halfway down the length of the village, south of the intersection of the Sinj-Trilj-Split road, there is a hill to the east, in the direction of a field 1,000 m long and 500 m wide, 365 m above sea level - Brnaška glavica (The little head of brnaze). It is characterized by its peninsular appearance in the plain of Sinjsko polje (The farmland of sinj) , where historical-Christian, Michaelmas traces were found. There are also two today abandoned quarries, which, considering the geological feature and location and the needs of Sinj and the reclamation of Sinjsko polje (The farmland of sinj) , were opened in the middle of the 20th century and closed in 1978.
