Panorama of Nova Gorica

history

Station of the Wocheiner Bahn. The border with Gorizia (Italy) runs through the circle in the foreground

The Treaty of Paris divided the Austrian city of Görz / Gorizia until 1918 and Italian until 1945 . East of the old town of Gorizia, the border was set immediately west of the Wocheiner Bahn , so that it runs across the station forecourt ( Piazza Transalpina / Trg Evropa ). The station was occupied by Yugoslav partisans on May 1, 1945 along with the entire city of Gorizia east of the Isonzo .

In 1948 the foundation stone was laid for the new city center of Nova Gorica, a city from the drawing board, which is the most important urbanism project of the city planner and architect Edvard Ravnikar , as a new urban center for the Yugoslav side of the border. Nova Gorica also includes older settlements that existed before 1947. Nova Gorica has been a university town since the University of Nova Gorica was founded in 1995.

Since December 21, 2007, the state border Slovenia-Italy can be crossed at any point due to the Schengen Agreement , to which Slovenia has acceded; regular border controls have been discontinued. This greatly reduces the separating effect of the division of Gorizia, which has been in effect under international law since 1947. All citizens of a state of the European Union are entitled to cross the border without a permit .

Based on the German city name Gorizia, Nova Gorica is referred to as Neu-Gorizia in some unofficial texts .

The pilgrimage site of Heiligenberg is not far from the city .
