The early Christian and medieval heritage of the island of Šolta mostly lies in the finds from the late ancient period, which speaks of the long and rich history of the island itself. Early Christian heritage of Šolta includes mostly churches and sacral objects, such as the basilica of Saint Stephen in Grohote, which is believed to have been the centre of baptism of the island population and the first parish church on the island and the backbone of the early Christian life on the island. Apart from it, we can also find two more of the important evidence of early Christian life on Šolta. It is a church and a Benedictine monastery on the islet of Stipanska, Maslinica and the church of Saint Helen in Donje Selo, which speak of an active Christian life in the fifth and the sixth century. The medieval heritage of the island of Šolta is best represented by the church of Saint Michael in Srednje Selo, which is the only completely preserved building of that period on the island. Apart from it, we also found the Benedictine monastery of Saint Maria above Stomorska, on the site where a church dedicated to Our Lady was built, the church of Saint Peter with the supposed another Benedictine monastery in Nečujam and the apse of today's parish church of Saint Martin in Donje Selo, as evidence of medieval times on Šolta.
