Blagovica lies between the Radomlja River and Zlatenščica Creek and is the local center of the east-central part of the Radomlja Valley (also known as the Black Valley, Slovenian: Črni graben). Blagovica has a primary school, a post office, a bar, a gas station and a parish church. The village also has several organizations, including the Blagovica Volunteer Fire Department, the Blagovica Hiking Club, the Blagovica Cultural Society, the Blagovica Rural Youth Organisation, and the Trojane–Blagovica Rural Women's Society.
Blagovica was attested in written sources as Glogowicz in 1327, Glouiz in 1328, and Ober Glogowicz in 1369, among other spellings.[4]
