The village houses the parish church of the Dicmo Donje parish, dedicated to Saint James the Apostle and Saint Anne, built in the Romanesque Revival style in 1934.[5] The old parish church is located at the cemetery and was built sometime before 1709.[5]

One of the stations of the Split–Sinj railway was in Kraj from 1902 to 1962. In 2024, a theme park was dedicated to the railway next to the old cut-stone station building.[6]
