History
Vranik was first mentioned in a list of fortifications conquered by the Turks in 1577. It is not known who built it, but Bishop Sebastian Glavinić, in his description of Lika and Krbava from 1696, mentions the Vranich family, who lived in the town of Vranik even before the arrival of the Turks. The present-day settlement of Vranik was established on the very edge of a fertile valley below the fortified town, the remains of which can still be seen on the Gradina hill.
From the breakup of Yugoslavia until August 1995, Vranik was located in Licko-Senjska zupanija. The settlement is part of the municipality of Lovinac.
