The island in front of Split, with the area of 59 sq. kilometers, six settlements, and about 1,500 inha­bitants. It is separated from the mainland by Split Channel, and the ferryboat from Split comes in the harbor of Rogač. In inland is a Kar­st field covered with different agri­cultural cultures.

The largest coves are Rogač and Nečujam. The Maslenica cove is good anchorage for smaller ships. The bigger settle­ments are: Grohote, Gornje Selo, Srednje Selo, and Donje Selo in the inland.

The Romans called it Solenta, and in the Statute of Split from the 14th century, it has been men­tioned under the name of Šolta.
