Supetar (Italian: San Pietro della Brazza) is a town in the country of Croatia, and lies on the northern side of the Dalmatian island of Brac in the Adriatic Sea. The name "Supetar" originated from the Latin SvPetar during the Latin population of the town where "Sv" stands for "Sveti", meaning Saint. Therefore it takes its name from Saint Peter, which is the name's English translation. The official language is Croatian, however most inhabitants also speak English, Italian and German. Supetar is accessible via 45 minute ferry via Jadrolinija from the mainland city of Split. It currently is the capital of the island with a population of 3,062, and is the island's largest and fastest-expanding town with dozens of apartments being built each year.
Slobodna Dalmacija recently reported that a housing development called Adriatica is being built in McKinney, Texas, USA, as a partial faithful replica of Supetar.
