City Municipality of Novo Mesto
City Municipality of Novo Mesto, Regional center in southeastern Slovenia
Description
The city spreads across both banks of the Krka River, with multiple bridges connecting the different neighborhoods together. The gentle hills of the Dolenjska region surround the area and shape the landscape throughout.
History
It was founded in 1365 and developed into a fortified settlement that protected against attacks from the east. This strategic location shaped its growth over the centuries and made it an important regional hub.
Culture
The local museum holds bronze situlae vessels that represent a quarter of all such archaeological finds across Europe. These objects shape the city's identity and appear throughout local symbols and landmarks.
Practical
The A2 motorway links the city to Ljubljana in the northwest and Zagreb in the southeast, making it accessible for visitors from the wider region. The location between both cities makes it a convenient stopping point for longer journeys.
Did you know?
The ground beneath the city contains nine decorated bronze situlae from the Iron Age buried for over two thousand years. These finds reveal that the region had a thriving trade culture in ancient times.
