Gorna Goricë (Template:Lang-sq; Macedonian/Bulgarian: 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 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, including research by a Bulgarian scientist from Albania, the local inhabitants are Bulgarians.^[5]^[6]

History

Gorna Gorica is a proposed 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]
