Poljica-Brig is located in the fertile plain of Ravni Kotari, just about ten kilometers north of Zadar. The village is part of a region that was historically of great importance for agriculture and livestock. The name 'Brig' refers to the village's slightly elevated position, from which one can enjoy a broad view across the fields all the way to the Velebit mountains. The village's architecture reflects the traditional building style of Northern Dalmatia, with stone and wood being the dominant materials. Life in Poljica-Brig is quiet and unhurried, making it a well-suited starting point for vacationers seeking proximity to major tourist centers but preferring silence at night. The famous historic town of Nin, with its sandy beaches and healing mud, is just a short drive away. Residents are proud of their local produce, especially vegetables and wine, which thrive on the mineral-rich soils. In the surroundings of Poljica-Brig, there are numerous opportunities for cycling trips through the flat landscape. Culturally, the place is interwoven with the customs of the Zadar region, and at local festivals, traditional songs and dances can be experienced.
