Gjallica, Mountain summit in Kukës County, Albania.

Gjallica is a massif in the Korab range within Kukës municipality, reaching 2,486 m according to English sources (2,489 m in Albanian sources). It has an oval form about 11 km by 5 km, with a sharp summit crest and steep limestone slopes dropping toward the Vanave Gorge and Bicaj Canyon.

The name Gjallica appears in records from the first half of the 17th century as Mali i Galijes. Local forms vary: G(j)alliçe in Bicaj, Galica among Tropojë highlanders, Galliçja in Has, and Gjallica e Lumës in the Albanian encyclopedic dictionary. Two etymologies are proposed, one Slavic and one linking it to the Albanian words gjallë and gjallërim, meaning alive and life.

The name Gjallica appears in 17th-century records as Mali i Galijes; villagers around Bicaj say G(j)alliçe, while people in Has call it Galliçja and the Gorë call it Gallaiç. One etymology links it to the Albanian words gjallë and gjallërim, meaning alive or life.

The shortest and most used route starts at the village of Brekije and takes about seven hours round trip on average. The direct approach from near Shtiqën gains roughly 2,250 metres over about 25 kilometres round trip and usually needs more than fourteen hours in good conditions.

Almost 90% of Gjallica's perimeter lies above 2,000 metres, with slopes falling knife-like from summit to base — a profile the sources say no other peak in the Korab range or the Albanian Alps shares. The summit ridge drops steeply over the Vanave Gorge, near the spring called Kroi Tanzot.
