History

Gata is a part of the historical Republic of Poljica, and up until the end of the Republic it was the place where the prince of Poljica was elected every year on the day of their patron Saint George.

The village was heavily damaged during the massacre on 1 October 1942, when a group of Chetniks led by Mane Rokvić (under Momčilo Đujić), under the protection of the fascist occupiers, killed 79 villagers and burned the village. This date is still commemorated today in an annual mass.

Culture

The village organizes an annual festival called the Days of Ivo Marjanović in honor of this great actor.

Gata contains the ruins of an early Christian basilica.

Population

About 600 villagers live in Gata and the surrounding smaller villages of Podgrac, Gomila, Pocelje, Čovići, and Kuvačići. The majority of the population is Roman Catholic.
