City Municipality of Novo Mesto

The city extends along both sides of the Krka River, featuring districts connected by bridges and surrounded by gentle hills of the Dolenjska region.

Rudolf IV of Austria established Novo Mesto in 1365, transforming it from a small settlement into a fortified town that protected against Ottoman invasions.

The Dolenjska Museum contains a collection of bronze situlae vessels, representing one quarter of all such archaeological findings across Europe.

The A2 motorway connects Novo Mesto to Ljubljana in the northwest and Zagreb in the southeast, making it accessible for regional transportation.

Nine decorated bronze situlae from the Iron Age period were discovered in the ground beneath the current city streets and buildings.
