Straddling the Slovenia-Italy Border

This photo was taken in Nova Gorica, #Slovenia. In 2004 the Iron Curtain officially fell -- although before then locals could cross the borders, but needed to show a passport. Now, locals in Slovenia and Italy can cross freely. 1947 signifies when the border went up between Italy and #Yugoslavia. In the Square of #Europe, it's possible to take a photo while standing in both Slovenia and #Italy, and even walk right over to Italy to explore both in one day. I'm not usually into touristy photos like this, but thought this was pretty #cool :) Thank you to Vesna of Herbal House in Plave Village for the #history lesson and hospitality!
