Šestanovac is located some 50 km southeast of Split, with somewhat less than 2,700 inhabitants, about 500 of them living in the settlement of the same name. The settlement is relatively young, formed in the 20th century on the crossing of the roads Split-Imotski and Brela (Adriatic coast)-Cista Provo towards inlands Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the modern highway was built through inland Dalmatia in the last few years, Šestanovac is an important exit towards the southern Dalmatian coast.

Coat of arms of Šestanovac - Image by Željko Heimer, 25 April 2010
The coat of arms of Šestanovac is "Azure between a chapterhouse with a bell issuant from two wavy barrulets a saltire all argent on gray."
Thos emblem was probably not approved by the central administration. It may depict the road crossing and access to the coast. The
chapterhouse may represent the Our Lady of Fatima Chapel in the
monastery of the Sisters Servants of Child Jesus.
