Nova Gorica (or New Gorizia) is a municipality and a town in the western part of Slovenia, located on the Soča river on the Italian-Slovenian border. It has the population of about 13,900. Nova Gorica is a relatively new town, built in 1948, when the Paris Peace Treaty established a new border between Yugoslavia and Italy, leaving the nearby Gorizia outside the borders of Yugoslavia.
