Babna Polica (pronounced as /sl/; in older sources also Babina Polica,[2] de|Babnapoliza[2]) is a small village southeast of Stari Trg pri Ložu in the Municipality of Loška Dolina in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Babna Polica was attested in historical sources as Polz in 1327, Poͤlcz in 1355, and Pabenfelder Poltz in 1384, among other spellings.[4]
The local church on the northern edge of the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Hermit and belongs to the Parish of Stari Trg.[5] It was first mentioned in written sources dating to 1403. The date on the door casing, 1589, indicates a late 16th-century rebuilding of the original church. The main altar dates to 1716.[6]
