Jelsa, Croatia
Jelsa is a town in Croatia, on the island of Hvar, the seat of the eponymous municipality (općina) within the county of Split-Dalmatia.
The municipality of Jelsa covers an area of 121.2 km2 from the north coast to the south coast of Hvar.
At the 2011 census, the total population of Jelsa municipality was 3,656, in the following settlements:
Hamlets include: Prapatna, Pokrivenik, Vela and Mala Stiniva. (Ref: 2009 Jelsa Općina website)
The town of Jelsa is situated in a bay on the middle of the north coast of the island of Hvar. To the south of the town are dense pine woods on the sloping hills of the island's ridge. Jelsa is the only place on the island with an abundance of fresh water, as a result of which there is more luxuriant vegetation here than elsewhere. The agricultural plain lying to the west of Jelsa is the UNESCO protected world heritage site Starigrad Plain.
Since records began in 1981, the highest temperature recorded at the local weather station was 39.1 °C (102.4 °F), on 9 August 2017. The coldest temperature was −8.8 °C (16.2 °F), on 26 January 2000.
The old town of Jelsa (Civitas Vetus Ielsae) was mentioned in the Statute of Hvar in 1331. Although the exact location and extent of the ancient Jelsa are not well understood, remnants of the old protective wall can still be seen on the west side of the Gradina peninsula. Material remains from the Roman period prove the existence of a settlement in the area of Jelsa. Several villas are preserved in the area of Kutac, round St. Rock and in the cove called Carkvica of St. Luke.
On the mountain spur overlooking Jelsa to the south, is the massive fortress of Tor, which was a Greek observation point, standing on an older Illyrian fort (4th–3rd century B.C.). The location is an ideal defensive position as it overlooks the islands of Hvar and Brač as far as Šolta and the Makarska coast. Demetrius of Hvar reigned here for some ten years until the Roman occupation.
