History

Moglicë is the birthplace of Hasan Moglica (b1854 - d1915), 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]
