The Nova Ves (meaning new village in Kajkavian language) is a historic street north of the Kaptol neighborhood in Zagreb, Croatia.
[2] From the first habitation to date, the street has had a rich history as an important part of Zagreb ever since the beginnings of the modern city.
The first mention of the street (as "Lepa Ves") can be found in a document dating to 1334, which calls the settlement a "villa."
The residents of the Nova Ves had rights similar to those of Gornji Grad, i.e. the ability to select their own magistrate, the requirement to pay taxes to the Kaptol Chapter, etc.
[3][4] Together with the parallel Tkalčićeva Street, Nova Ves is today one of the major tourist sights in central Zagreb.
