European Capital of Culture

Nova Gorica–Gorizia, European Capital of Culture 2025

Since its inception in 1985, over 40 cities have won the prestigious European Capital of Culture (ECoC) title. Forty years later, however, the border cities of Nova Gorica in Slovenia and Gorizia in Italy are the first ones to turn this annual celebration of culture into a genuinely cross-border endeavour. Based on these cities' specific political, cultural and geographical context, their 2025 ECoC programme explores the concept of borders from multiple dimensions under the slogan “Go! Borderless”.

The opening event, From Station to Station, was held on 8 February, the Slovenian cultural holiday.
