Stara Sušica (pronounced [staːra sǔʃit͡sa]) is a village in Croatia. It is known for its 19th century castle.
Name
Historically, the town was also known as Brod Sušica.[a] Later as just Sušica (singular)[5] or Sušice (plural).[6] Other uses of the plural form of this toponym include the springs of the Pećinski Potok near Delnice, a slope near Radatovići, a field near Selsko Brdo, a group of pools on Pag and others.[7] As in the case of Stara Sušica, the name is typically derived from a stream that dries up in the summer, termed a sùšica, from the Serbo-Croatian verb sušiti "to dry".[8]
