history
Bijaći was founded in 100 by Roman war veterans and settlers under the name Siculi, the place lies between Tragurium ( Trogir ) and the colony of Salona ( Solin ) in today's Plano .
From 700 onwards Siculi came under Croatian rule and was renamed Bijaći. In the 9th century, under the rule of Prince Trpimir I, an early Christian basilica , the Basilica of St. Marta, was built. The prince's grave was also located there. The church was destroyed to the ground.
Today there is only a small chapel on the foundation walls, it is dedicated to St. Martha and stands on the slope, north of Split airport. There is a Roman cemetery nearby.
