Two former border towns, Gorizia in Italy and Nova Gorica in Slovenia, reunite as Europe's Capital of Culture.

After decades of separation, the twin border towns of Gorizia in Italy and Nova Gorica in Slovenia have reunited as Europe's Capital of Culture for 2025. The towns were divided for 57 years following World War II by the Gorizia Wall, which was removed in 2004 when Slovenia joined the EU. They are now celebrating their shared history and cultural heritage through various events and activities.
