Lučane is a settlement in the City of Sinj in Croatia.[4] In 2021, its population was 601.[2]
The village is situated within a fertile valley. Archaeological discoveries point to human occupation extending back to prehistoric times, as a suspect community of huts was located near the stream of Sutina.[5] The ancient site of Setovia, referenced in accounts of Octavian's military campaign against the Dalmatae, is believed to have been on the nearby hill of Sušanj. Experts further postulate that the principal ancient roadway connecting Andetrium (near Muć) and Aequum (near Čitluk) traversed the Lučane area. Findings in the region also include several burial sites dating to late antiquity, specifically between the 3rd and 6th centuries.[6]
