Abstract
Due to its unique geographical position, Poljice represents an area that has retained certain autochthonous features for a long time and has accepted the Ottoman and then Venetian influences to a minimal extent. That had the effect that Poljice became an area with special status. Only on its territory the Venetian authorities did not appoint an official (provveditore or superintendent), as was the case in the parts of Dalmatia that belonged to the Republic based on the demarcation carried out in 1699 and 1718. Without a representative of the central government, residents did not readily accept its regulations, including sanitary ones. This fact determined this research, which tries to show how the plague epidemic was suppressed in the absence of state sanitary authorities in 1783, which was remembered as one of the most severe that hit Dalmatia in that century.
