History (and sometimes, unfortunately, current events) shows us just how easily international borders can change, but we still like to think that they are permanent fixtures. These photos of different country borders around the world show you how both friendly and hostile nations like to fence off their turf.

Everyone knows about the Berlin wall, but for decades there was another divided city in Europe, and by divided I mean, literally, traversed by a wall. After WWII ended, Italy had to surrender some territories of what now are Slovenia and Croatia to the newly created Yugoslavia. Italy managed to retain most of the city of Gorizia, but the train station and its surrounding area went to Yugoslavia, that started to develop a new city, Nova Gorica, that mirrored the Italian one across the border. Although Yugoslavia was officially a non-aligned country, the wall that separated both cities was a physical barrier between the communist East and the Western world. The wall run next to people's houses and through gardens and the magnificent entrance of the station, in Yugoslavia, was facing anything but the wall, giving the situation a surreal touch. Fortunately, this is now over. Slovenia joined the EU in 2004, with Italian and Slovenian prime ministers meeting in the center of the station square to celebrate the event. When I visited the station, there was no activity whatsoever and by looking at the wooden interiors, it seemed that the time had stopped in 1947. It is now possible to walk but not drive across the square, as a marking stone, some flowers and a low-lying fence still act as barriers and demarcate the line. A monument in the center of the square, just where the border lies, commemorates the end of the division . In this blog(in Spanish)there are some interesting pictures.
### Discover the Hidden Gem of Nova Gorica, Slovenia Nestled in the picturesque western part of Slovenia, on the border with Italy, lies the charming town of Nova Gorica. This hidden gem is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Let's dive into what makes Nova Gorica a captivating place to explore. ### A Fascinating History Nova Gorica's history is intertwined with the aftermath of World War II and the establishment of a new border between Yugoslavia and Italy. The Paris Peace Treaty of 1947 left nearby Gorizia outside the Yugoslavian borders, creating the need for a new center for the surrounding valleys. Nova Gorica was born out of this necessity, becoming the principal urban center of the Gorizia region. ### Architectural Marvels One of the most striking features of Nova Gorica is its modernist architecture. Designed by renowned Slovenian architect Edvard Ravnikar, the town was built according to the principles of modernist urban planning. The clean lines, functional spaces, and innovative design elements make Nova Gorica a true architectural marvel. ### Cultural and Culinary Delights Nova Gorica offers a vibrant cultural scene with numerous theaters, art galleries, and music festivals. The town is also known for its lively casino, which attracts visitors from both Slovenia and Italy. For food enthusiasts, Nova Gorica is a culinary paradise, with a wide range of restaurants serving delicious Slovenian and Italian cuisine. Don't miss the opportunity to savor local specialties like štruklji (rolled dumplings) and pršut (air-dried ham). ### Outdoor Adventures Surrounded by breathtaking nature, Nova Gorica is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The nearby Soča Valley offers a plethora of activities, including hiking, cycling, and white-water rafting. Explore the emerald-green waters of the Soča River or embark on a scenic hike through the Julian Alps. For a more leisurely experience, take a stroll through the beautiful vineyards that dot the landscape, and indulge in wine tasting at local wineries. ### Historical Significance Nova Gorica is not only a town of modernity but also a place where history comes alive. Visit the Kostanjevica Monastery, a former Franciscan monastery that now serves as the final resting place of the last French king, Charles X. Explore the World War I heritage sites, such as the Kromberk Castle, which houses a museum dedicated to the history of the region during the war. ### When to Visit Nova Gorica can be enjoyed year-round, with each season offering its own unique charm. Spring and summer are ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the lush green landscapes. Autumn brings vibrant colors to the vineyards, making it the perfect time for wine enthusiasts to visit. Winter offers a cozy atmosphere, with the opportunity to enjoy winter sports in the nearby ski resorts. ### Conclusion Nova Gorica is a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or an outdoor adventurer, this Slovenian town has something to offer everyone. So, pack your bags and embark on a journey to discover the captivating charm of Nova Gorica.
