Gornja Ploča, Rural settlement in Lovinac, Croatia
Gornja Ploča is a rural settlement in the Lika-Senj County of Croatia, situated at 625 meters elevation. The area spans a broad territory of farmland and countryside in the region.
The settlement reached its peak population around 1900, after which it experienced steady decline over the following decades. This pattern mirrored changes affecting many rural areas in the region during the 20th century.
Residents here follow long-standing practices in making honey, meat products, and dairy goods. These traditional crafts remain woven into daily life and local identity.
The settlement sits along state road D522, which connects to the main Zagreb-Split highway with a dedicated exit for the area. Visitors traveling by car will find straightforward access to the region.
After decades of declining numbers, the settlement has reversed course since the early 2000s and begun attracting residents again. This shift breaks with a long pattern and suggests new possibilities for the rural area.
