The population of the former municipality at the 2011 census was 51,152. It is the sixth largest city in Albania. It stands on a plateau some 850 m (2,789 ft) above sea level, surrounded by the Morava Mountains.Korçë is named differently in other languages: Aromanian: Curceaua or Corceao; Bulgarian: Горица, Goritsa; Greek: Κορυτσά, Korytsa; Italian: Coriza; Macedonian: Горица, Goritsa; Turkish: Görice. The current name is of Slavic origin. The word "gorica" means "hill"[4] in South Slavic languages, and is a very common toponym in Albania and Slavic countries (e.g. Podgorica in Montenegro, Gorizia, Dolna Gorica in the Pustec municipality, and so on). It is diminutive of the Slavic toponym "gora", meaning mountain, which is also found in placenames throughout Slavic countries as well as non-Slavic countries like Albania, Greece and Italy.
