Church of St. Anthony during Great Friday Mass – 79 viewsUpper Tucepi still plays a crucial role in the lives of Tucepi inhabitants. Situated on the foothills of the Biokovo Mountain, Upper Tucepi remains the constant reminder of the town’s long tradition dating back to many centuries ago. Upper Tucepi, with its ancient houses, taverns and vine cellars scattered around the breathtaking surrounding serves as the cultural center for the local community. Thus, for example, during summer theatre plays are staged every week in a different hamlet of Upper Tucepi, the ancient walls of authentic rural Dalmatian architecture serving as the perfect mise en scène.
Tučepi is also the focal point of religious life of the community, which centers on the baroque church of St. Anthony. A particularly important event every year is the Good Friday Procession that sees a growing number of adherents every year marching up the winding track through the mountain, headed for a tiny chapel lying on a mountain slope.
