Not far away from the peak is Draconian Cave also known as The Dragon Cave after the dragon which an unknown monk chiselled on cave wall in 15th century. Beside the dragon there are numerous symbols of old Slavic mythology. Skrip is the oldest place in Brac. It was founded by Illyrian tribe. During the reign of roman empire Diocletian's the stone for his palace in Split was mined there (today's Split grew from that palace). Therefore Škrip has illyrian and roman roots. Tower Radojkovic was built during the wars in the 16th century. It is located in Skrip - the oldest settlement in the island. Today it is museum. The tower has windows on sides of protecting walls and loopholes also. This building's important feature is in its 3 ethnical layers as well: Illyrian, Roman and Croatian. The Radojkovic family were some kind of sacristans-patrons; they restored churches and helped them out with money, ensuring the advisor over them that way, and becoming church wardens and persons of importance and honour. There were several such families of patrons who quarrelled among themselves in questions of advisor. "Affair of honour" between Radojkovic and Bajkovic family lasted for 128 years. Tower Radojkovic is a part of a larger complex of ambient houses located in the village of Skrip. In 1979 the Museum was opened here. The main patron of this museum is Petrito Fabjanovic, a famous master-builder and restorer. In this native museum there are different things worth seeing from different periods of time; archaeological findings from the caves, Illyrian and Roman monuments, pictures, books and photographs from contemporary history as well as ancient history of the island. Near the museum there is a belvedere. There is also a village cemetery and several churches nearby: the church of Holly Spirit , the church of St John and the church of St Anna which used to belong to the convent, now long gone, with no remnants left.
