History
)
The rebuilt Old Maslenica Bridge.
The village was built 1000 years ago.
Maslenica was damaged under the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s.[1] Most notably, a heavily traveled bridge, the Maslenica Bridge was destroyed. In 2006, the bridge was rebuilt on the same spot and similar appearance. In the meantime, an additional bridge, also known as Maslenica Bridge had been built slightly north, on the A1 motorway.[2]
Operation Maslenica got its name from the village.
