Moglicë is a historic village in the Stëblevë commune, Elbasan County, in Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Librazhd.[1] Until 1991 Moglicë was under the administration of Dibër, Albania.[2] Since 1991 Stëblevë consists of the villages Borove, Llange, Moglicë, Prodan, Sebisht, Steblevë and Zabzun.[3]
Moglicë is the birthplace of Hasan Moglica (1854–1915), a scholar, educator, leader, engineer, philosopher, patriot, nationalist figure and the martyr of Albanian language and nation.[4] He was buried alive by the Serbian army on 15 June 1915 when he refused to sell Albanian land.[5] [6] [7]
Albanian Teacher Hasan Moglica had transformed his 28-room stone-house into a huge library and language school. As of today, memories of glory days of Moglicë of Dibra remain an important part of the Albanian culture.[8]
