BRAZZA (Serbo-Croatian Brac), an island in the Adriatic sea, forming part of Dalmatia, Yugoslavia. Pop. (1931) 17,317. With an area of about 200 sq.m. Brazza is the largest of the Dal matian islands; it is also fertile and the most thickly populated. Though rugged and mountainous, it yields an abundance of olives, figs, almonds, saffron, and chrysanthemums from which an insect powder is produced, as well as wines of good quality. The corn crop, however, barely suffices for three months' food. Other local industries are fishing, silkworm-rearing, stone, slate and marble quarrying, and the working of asphalt deposits. The most impor tant among the 26 villages on the island is Milna (Pop. [1921] 3,206), which has a good harbour, and is provided with ship wrights' wharves, where coasting vessels are built. It has also a steam flourmill. There are many fine churches and substantial stone houses. The island has been dominated in turn by the pirates of Almissa, by Ragusa, Venice, the Holy Roman Empire, Hungary, Bosnia, Russia and Austria, with one brief period of autonomy. In 1918 it was incorporated with Yugoslavia.
