Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
Banitsa (Template:Langx – Karié, Bulgarian/Macedonian:[1] Баница, Banitsa or Banica, Ottoman Turkish:[2] بانيچه Turkish Baniçe) is a deserted village in Serres regional unit, northern Greece. Its ruins are situated some 15 km north-east of the town of Serres, near the present-day village of Oreini, on the southern slopes of the Vrontous mountains. During the Ottoman period it had a Bulgarian population.[3][4][5][6] The village was destroyed by the Greek Army during the Second Balkan War, and the population migrated to Bulgaria.[7] Its inhabitants settled in Mehomiya, Bachevo, Nevrokop, Sveti Vrach, and Novo Delchevo.
Banitsa was the site of the death of the Macedonian Bulgarian revolutionary Gotse Delchev, who was killed in a skirmish with Ottoman police forces on 4 May 1903.[8]
