Maslenica, Coastal settlement in Jasenice, Croatia
Maslenica is a coastal settlement on the Novigrad Sea where the Zrmanja River flows into Adriatic waters. The village spreads along the shoreline with views across the open water and sits strategically between the waterway and inland areas.
The settlement suffered heavy damage during the 1990s wars and underwent reconstruction afterward. This period shaped how the village developed and influenced its present-day character and infrastructure.
The settlement is shaped by its connection to the sea and fishing traditions, visible in how houses face the water and local life revolves around daily maritime activities. People here maintain customs rooted in their coastal heritage and the rhythm of Adriatic living.
The settlement is easily accessible by car as it sits on a major transport route with modern road connections. Visitors find a small community with local services and direct coastal access for exploration.
Two bridges bearing its name define the settlement: an original structure that was rebuilt and a modern motorway crossing. These two crossings shape the village's identity and its role in regional transport.
