The Bracera is one of the most iconic traditional sailing cargo ships of the Adriatic Coast. With origins dating back to the sixteenth century, it represents the natural evolution of the medieval navis rotunda (round ship). This faithful reconstruction captures the vessel’s characteristic rounded hull — typically 15 to 17 meters long — and showcases the craftsmanship and maritime heritage of Croatia.
