The watermill complex at Ro\u0161ki slap waterfall is one of the most interesting and valuable ethnographic monuments in Dalmatia and Croatia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is not known exactly when the first mills (watermills) appeared in the area of Ro\u0161ki slap waterfall. We do know that they existed in the area of the Krka and \u010cikola Rivers in the Roman period times, from a Roman inscription on a bronze plate originating from the area of ancient Promona, but actual remains of Roman mills on the Krka River have not yet been ss<\/p>\n

Medieval mills preceded the present-day ones. The written sources and information about the mills at Ro\u0161ki slap show almost no differences from those at Skradinski buk, which are often mentioned in historical sources.<\/p>\n

The mills at Ro\u0161ki slap were also owned by the Franciscans of Visovac. When the area of Ro\u0161ki slap fell under Ottoman Turkish rule at the beginning of the 16th century, the mills were taken over by the Turks because they were necessary for the supply of flour to their army. All of them, including that of Visovac, changed masters. They remained under Turkish rule until the end of the 17th century, when this area was conquered by the Venetian Republic.<\/p>\n

The operation of the watermills and other hydraulic devices at Ro\u0161ki slap was endangered by a hydroelectric power plant built in 1909 by the Coal Exploitation Company from Siveri\u0107. Today, the mills bear the names of both old and new owners (the Kulu\u0161i\u0107\/Marasovi\u0107 mill, the Samodol\/Skelin mill, the Jovi\u0107 mill, the \u0160ostera mill, friar\u2019s mill\u2026).<\/p>\n
