Tuminec (Macedonian: Туминец) is a village just north of the Albanian portion of Lake Prespa in the Pustec Municipality of the Korçë County.[1][2] The village of Konjsko is opposite the Albania-Macedonia border from Tuminec.
History
According to archaeological evidence found in 2011, the Tuminec area was inhabited during Neolithic times.[3]
The nearby Church of the Holy Mother of God, a rock church, was built in the 14th century.[4]
Following the Ilinden Uprising of 1903, Tuminec came under the Bulgarian Exarchate. According to a survey two years later, the village's population consisted of 520 Christians.[5]
Until 1970, the official Albanian name for the village was Bezmisht;[6] it then became Kallamas. In 2013, the official name was changed back to Tuminec.[7]
Demographics
According to Yugoslav sources from 1981, the village was populated exclusively by Macedonians.[8]
A 2007 estimate put the village population around 950 to 1,000 residents.[9]
Culture
Tuminec is the nearest village to the Orthodox Church of the Holy Mother of God, situated on a rocky ridge about 10 meters from the Macedonian border. Some of the older paintings in the church date from the 18th century.[10] It is also home to the Church of St Demetrius.
Tuminec has a football club, FK Tuminec, that competes with other villages in the Prespa area of Pustec.[11]
