Srb

Srb is a settlement situated in the Una River valley at an elevation of 434 meters (1,425 feet), positioned between Donji Lapac and Knin in southeastern Lika. The village sits in a mountainous region where the river shapes the landscape.

In medieval times, the settlement served as the center of a small administrative district within the Kingdom of Croatia, with a royal fortress recorded in 1345. This early importance shaped how the place developed in the highland region.

The name comes from the Croatian word 'serbati', meaning 'to sip', a reference to the natural spring waters of the Una that flow through this area. The word choice reflects how important the river has been to the people living here.

The settlement uses postal code 23445 and operates in Central European Time, with phone numbers using the area code +385 23. These details help when planning contact or orienting yourself in the region.

The settlement today is actually the result of two previously separate communities, Donji Srb and Gornji Srb, coming together as a single administrative unit after the 2011 census. This merging reshaped how the community is organized and functions.
