Boboshticë
Boboshticë is a village in the former Drenovë Municipality of the Korçë County in southeastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Korçë.
The name of the village is a Slavic toponym, recognizable with the Slavic suffix ice.
The village is known in Aromanian as Bubushtitsa, in Bulgarian as Бобощица (Boboshtitsa), and in Macedonian as Бобоштица (Boboštica).
According to legend, the village was founded by Polish settlers left behind after a Crusade. It is believed that the local church of Saint John the Forerunner was most probably built in the 13th century and it was rebuilt and expanded later. In 1503 a new church in the monastery St. Nicholas near to the village was built on whose western wall, in a Greek language inscription the slavic names of donors were mentioned - Bogdan, Chelko, Valcho and Telche, and the paintings were a donation of Petros Chartophylax.
The village was internally ruled by a "council of elders" led by a person from one of the richest families, referred as Kodjabashis.
In 1823, for unclassified reasons, Boboshticë suffered a high level of mortality. 23 people are recorded to have died from the nearby monastery of St. Nicholas (Albanian: Shën Kollit), while 325 in total from the area.
A considerable number of the local population, though not of Greek origin, participated in the Greek War of Independence (1821-1830) and supported the Greek side. Six locals fell during the Siege of Messolonghi. Two uncles of the well-known Romanian author Victor Eftimiu participated in future anti-Ottoman wars.
A Greek elementary school was already operating during the 1873-1874 school season. Greek education was expanded with the creation of a kindergarten in 1888.
