Maslinica, a village and harbour in the cove of the same name, on the western coast of the island of Solta. The coast around Maslinica is indented, with a number of coves and small pebble beaches (Tepli Bok, Soskova, Poganica, Vela Luka). A local road connects Maslinica with other places on the island. The cove provides docks for smaller yachts and is well protected from all winds.
A four-storey tower with loopholes (located in the cove) dates back to the end of the 17th century. A two-storey Baroque castle with a quadrangular yard was attached to it in 1708; above the main gate is an inscription with the coat of arms of the Martinis-Marchi family.
