Transalpina/Europe Square

The railway station of Nova Gorica is located at the eastern end of the square, on the Slovenian side.

From 1947 (Treaty of Paris) an international border between Italy and Yugoslavia (Slovenia since 1991) crosses the square.

The square, in which is located Nova Gorica station, until 1947 Gorizia Montesanto,[3] was named after the Transalpine Railway,[1][2] Jesenice-Trieste.

On the Slovenian side the square is crossed, parallel to the station building, by a road named "Kolodvorska pot".

The partly parallel Italian road is "Via Ugo Foscolo", that continues as "Via Caterina Percoto".

The station in early 20th century, when it was crossed by Gorizia Tramway [ it ] .
In May 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, Transalpina Square was shut down and a wire net arose to divide the square and to not let people cross the border. This reminded many citizens of Gorizia and Nova Gorica of the times between 1947 and 2004 when the two towns were divided by a fence.
