Mogorić, Mountain settlement in Lika-Senj County, Croatia
Mogorić is a mountain settlement in Lika-Senj County, located in a hilly area of central Croatia surrounded by forest and rugged terrain. The village sits at roughly 600 meters elevation and occupies a sizable territory within this remote region.
The village originated from a fortress built by the Mogorović family during the Middle Ages, which later gained strategic importance during Ottoman times. By the 16th century, it had become entangled in the regional conflicts of the era.
The demographic records of Mogorić reflect the diverse ethnic composition of the region, with population data documented since 1857.
The settlement is accessible by local roads and offers limited services on-site, with more comprehensive facilities found in the nearby town of Gospić. Visitors should expect rural conditions and should rely on local guidance or established routes for getting around.
The settlement has experienced dramatic changes in population over the past centuries, shrinking from a much larger community to a very small one. Today it stands as a reminder of how many rural areas in this region have transformed as people moved elsewhere.
