Nova Gorica is located in western Slovenia and faces the border with Italy. Once the city was part of Gorizia city currently belonged to Italy, however, due to the introduction of a new border between Italy and former Yugoslavia after World War II, some parts of Gorizia were ceded to Slovenia. The area was developed after 1948 and became the city of Nova Gorica (New Gorizia).
