BLATO is situated in the middle of the island on the main island road, 40 km from Korčula. This is a traditional agricultural centre and the centre of all agricultural products of the island. The biggest public building in Blato today is the school, in whose cellars the huge cisterns of Blato wine are stored. The parish church of All Saints occupies the most prominent spot in Blato. It is a three-aisled church built in 1350, and reconstructed in its present form in 1672, when the bell-tower next to the church was built. In the church itself, there is the main altar of marble, the work of the Baroque artist Petar Pavle Bertapella (1763-1817), and the valuable All Saint painting on it, painted by the Venetian artist Girolamo da Santacroce in 1540. The church boasts a rich collection of silver, among which there are Venetian crosses from the 18th century. Saint Vicenza has been worshiped in Blato as its patron saint since 1795, and her relics are in the parish church. And many other small places...
