History
editIn the 19th century Ottoman Macedonia, Mogila was known as a Slavic village in the district of Bitola. In 1900, Mogila had 850 residents, all of whom were Orthodox Christians[1]. In the early 20th century, Mogila lay within the Bulgarian Exarchate, and in 1905 had a population of 736 people, all of whom were Orthodox Christians[2].
In the late 19th century and early 20th century the village became involved in the struggle of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization against Ottoman rule. On May 8, 1903, the home of local revolutionary Nikola Meshkov, a member of Paraškev Cvetkov's band, was raided by Ottoman forces, and in the ensuing battle three men and two women were killed[3].
