Žrnovnica, Residential settlement in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia.
Žrnovnica is a settlement situated between the Mosor mountains and Split, featuring traditional character and basic amenities for residents. The place sits along a river that shapes daily life and offers views across surrounding landscapes.
The village developed around a water mill that has stood for about 600 years and still operates today. The river served as the area's lifeline for centuries, drawing people to settle in this location.
