caption_attribution_description: English: Nova Gorica, the train station, with the Italy-Slovenia boundary marker in the foreground.
context_page_description: Nova Gorica railway station serves the town and municipality of Nova Gorica, in the Slovenian Littoral region of Slovenia, and is also accessible from the town of Gorizia, Italy.
  The station forms part of the Bohinj Railway, between Jesenice, Slovenia, and Trieste, Italy. Due to its geographical position, it has undergone several changes of nationality and name.
  From its opening in 1906 until 1919, the station was located within the Austrian Empire, and was named Görz Staatsbahnhof. In 1919, as part of border changes following World War I, it was annexed by the Kingdom of Italy, and renamed Stazione di Gorizia Nord. In 1923, the station was renamed again, this time as Stazione di Gorizia Montesanto.
  In 1947, control of the station passed to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with the station being located within the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, and renamed Železniška postaja Nova Gorica. Slovenia became independent in 1991, but on that occasion the station was not renamed. The station is currently owned and operated by Slovenske železnice.
context_section_description: With Slovenian independence in 1991, the station and railway line passed to Slovenian Railways. In December 1991, the communist red star on the station pediment was modified to represent a Christmas star. Soon afterward, it was removed. Transalpina Square was divided between Italy and the new state of Slovenia.
  In 2004, when Slovenia joined the European Union, all border markers on the square were removed, and the Wall of Gorizia that had divided it in two was demolished. In 2007, when Slovenia entered the Schengen area, the last formal customs controls were eliminated and the square was reunited.
