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).

The population was 1,110 in the 2011 census.[1]
