Culture
The Church of Saint Francis of Assisi in Skrbčići was built in the late 16th or early 17th century. Its bell gable bears two bells; one of them was donated by local fishermen and depicts Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of seafarers. The church is designated as a feast-day church.
Skrbčići is documented as early as the 16th century in a report by Bishop Pietro Bembo.
Skrbčići is one of the Šotovento settlements considered to have preserved their original layout: compact houses stand along the village streets; older stone houses have storage rooms and taverns on the ground floor, with living quarters above.
