Zidani Most (literally, 'stone bridge'; German: Steinbrück) is a settlement in the Municipality of Laško in eastern Slovenia. It lies at the confluence of the Sava and Savinja rivers. The area was traditionally part of the Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja statistical region.[3] It is an important railway station and junction.[4]

Bridges [edit]
A bridge already crossed the Sava in the area in 20 BCE, in the Roman period, linking the towns of Emona, Celeia, and Neviodunum. Zidani Most is named after the bridge over the Sava that was built by the order of Leopold VI, Duke of Austria in 1224 and destroyed by Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor, in 1442, during his clashes with the Counts of Celje.[5] The current road stone bridge over the Savinja was built in 1824–26 to the plans of the engineer Friedrich Byloff and linked the town of Celje and the Lower Sava Valley.[6] The old railroad bridge that still stands was built in 1846–49 from 1260 stone blocks to the plans of the engineer Eduard Heider. Its construction was technically very demanding, because it had to follow a curve.[7] Similarly technically demanding was the construction of the new reinforced concrete railroad bridge, built by the Slavec company from Kranj in 1929–30.[8]
Local church [edit]
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. It was built in 1920.[9]
