'''Benica''' ({{IPA|sl|bɛˈniːtsa|pron}} or {{IPA|sl|ˈbeːnitsa|}}; {{langx|hu|Benica}}) is a small settlement in the [[Municipality of Lendava]] in the [[Prekmurje]] region of [[Slovenia]]. It lies close to the extreme eastern tip of Slovenia, near the [[Mur River|Mura River]] on the right bank of the [[Ardova Canal]], close to the borders with [[Croatia]] and [[Hungary]].<ref>[http://www.lendava.si/ Lendava municipal site]</ref> Until the canal was built in 1910, the area occupied by the settlement was part of the [[Mura Woods]] ({{langx|sl|Murska šuma}}), but then the area was cleared and in 1923 the [[House of Esterházy|Esterházy]] family's manorial possessions were taken away and transferred to settlers who were refugees from the [[Battles of the Isonzo|Isonzo Front]]. Until the [[Second World War]] it was a [[Hamlet (place)|hamlet]] of [[Pince]].<ref>Savnik, Roman, ed. 1980. ''Krajevni leksikon Slovenije'', vol. 4.
