Belica (Macedonian: Белица) is a small village located in the region of Porece in the municipality of Makedonski Brod.
Concerning the name Belica, there exist two theories: One states that the name is derived from the clear white water of the Beleshnica river which springs near the village center.
[citation needed] According to another theory, the village name is linked to the tragic legend of a local young girl, called Belaica, who threw herself from the rocks into the river after being forced to become the wife of a Turkish ruler.
[citation needed] The village is located in the Poreče region, in the eastern part of the Makedonski Brod Municipality.
