Štirovica (Macedonian: Штировица; Albanian: Shtirovicë) is a historical village located within the boundaries of the present-day village of Brodec in the municipality of Gostivar, North Macedonia. It is part of the region of Upper Reka.
Štirovica (Shterovica) appears in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a village in the ziamet of Reka which was under the authority of Karagöz Bey. The village had a total of 11 households and the anthroponymy recorded depicts a predominantly Albanian character.[1]
According to Ethnography of the Adrianople, Monastir and Salonika vilayets, Štirovica in 1873 had 100 households with 235 Albanian Muslims.[2] In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, the village was inhabited by 400 Muslim Albanians.[3]
Due to uprisings in the Upper Reka region, Štirovica was burned down by Serbian and Bulgarian forces between 1912 and 1916.[4]
