Gorna Gorica (Bulgarian/Macedonian: Горна Горица), previously officially known as Goricë e Madhe, is a village in the Pustec Municipality which is officially recognised as a Macedonian minority zone[1] located in the of the Korçë County in Albania.[2] It is situated west of Lake Prespa and the village of Tuminec, and northwest of the village of Dolna Gorica. The village is composed of ethnic Macedonians,[3] which form part of the larger Macedonian minority in Albania.[4] According to Bulgarian sources the local inhabitants are Bulgarians.[5][6]
History
Gorna Gorica is the location[7] of a fortified town called Pellion[8] of the ancient Greek[9] tribe of the Dexaroi. The site later became an ancient Macedonian fortress.[10]
In the late 19th century, the village came under the Bulgarian Exarchate. According to the exarchate, the village had 33 houses and 404 Orthodox Christian residents at that time.[11] The "La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne" survey by Dimitar Mishev (D. Brankov) concluded that village had 360 Bulgarian Exarchists residents in 1905.[12]
In 2013, the village's official name was changed from "Goricë e Madhe" to "Gorna Gorica".[13]
