Dolga Poljana (pronounced [ˈdoːu̯ɡa pɔˈljaːna]) is a village in the Vipava Valley east of Ajdovščina in the Littoral region of Slovenia.^[2]

Stone arch bridge

A stone arch bridge over the Vipava River links Dolga Poljana to the village of Dolenje. The three-arch bridge was built in the 19th century. It is paved with gravel and is supported by buttresses that are reinforced with groynes on the upstream side. There is a low stone wall on both sides of the bridge, and a shrine with a semi-circular niche once stood at it.^[3]
