Gorica is a village to the south of Drnovo in the Krško municipality in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Spodnjeposavska statistical region.[2]

The local church is dedicated to the Saint Paul and belongs to the Leskovec pri Krškem parish. It is has a rectangular Romanesque nave which was extended in the 18th century when a vaulted sanctuary was added.[3]

A number of Roman graves and an aedicula have been found in the area, indicating the southern extent of the nearby Nevidonium necropolis. Nearby a Roman potter's kiln was also uncovered.[4]
