Zidani Most

Zidani Most (pronounced [ˈziːdani ˈmoːst]; German: Steinbrück) is a settlement in the Municipality of Laško in eastern Slovenia.

[6] A bridge already crossed the Sava in the area in 20 BC, in the Roman period, linking the towns of Emona, Celeia, and Neviodunum.

The current road stone bridge over the Savinja was built by order of Archduke John of Austria[5] in 1824–26 following plans by the engineer Friedrich Byloff and linked the town of Celje and the Lower Sava Valley.

[8] Similarly technically demanding was the construction of the new reinforced concrete railroad bridge, built by the Slavec company from Kranj in 1929–30.

[9] The local church, built in the eastern part of the settlement known as Vila, is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and belongs to the Parish of Marija Širje.
