Nova Gorica

Among Slovenia’s cities, Nova Gorica stands out for its post-war creation directly beside the Italian border. Built after 1947, when the historic town of Gorizia became part of Italy, it developed as Yugoslavia’s new urban centre on the Slovenian side. The Soča River runs nearby, while the low hills and vineyards of the Vipava Valley shape the wider western landscape. At Europe Square, also known as Piazza Transalpina, the former border line crosses the square beside the railway station, making the bond with Gorizia tangible. The two cities jointly held the European Capital of Culture title in 2025. Find related webcams around the Slovenian–Italian border to build a fuller picture of Nova Gorica and Gorizia.
