Blinja

Petar Keglević obtained the medieval fortification in Blinja in the 16th century.^[3] In 1559 Ivan Lenković proposed destruction of the fortress so that it would not fall into Ottoman hands.^[3] In a report written by the commissioner of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, the fortress is described as the last one before the Ottoman-controlled lands, and that its walls were damaged and surrounded by water.^[3] During the wider Siege of Gvozdansko offensive in 1578, the fortress was under siege and damaged but was not conquered by the Ottomans.^[3] The fortress remained unconquered until the Ottoman retreat after the end of the Great Turkish War and the signing of the Treaty of Karlowitz.^[3] Since that time the fortification has been unused and has deteriorated over the years.^[3] The modern day ruins of the fortification are located in the forest-covered hill south-east of the village.^[3]

According to the 2011 census,^[4] the village of Blinja had 78 inhabitants. This represents 37.14% of its pre-war population according to the 1991 census.
