Vranjic is the birthplace of one of the greatest archaeologists for early Christianity Don Frane Bulić. Klapa Hurania (Latin name for Vranjic) also comes from the village. There is a small rustic villa there, leading people to believe that Vranjic was a vacation destination for rich Salonitan citizens (Salona Colonia Martia of Iulius Caesar, the present-day town of Solin).
