The Stara Maslina (Old Olive Tree) is a European olive tree (Olea europaea) believed to be the oldest tree of its kind in Europe and one of the oldest in the world. It is located in Mirovica (or Tomba) village of the municipality of Stari Bar, Montenegro, and was protected by law and declared a natural monument in 1957. It is one of the most important natural assets in Montenegro.
The tree is estimated to be over 2000 years old. It has been destroyed by fire twice in the past, but has recovered both times and is still producing fruit. The fruit is still harvested and olive oil is made from it, which is sold to visitors to the complex. Interest in the Old Olive Tree is growing and is visited by a large number of tourists from all over the world every year.
