Nove Mesto

Nove Mesto, which translates to “New Town” in Czech and Slovak, is a common designation for various towns and cities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. These locations were typically established in the Middle Ages as planned settlements, often meant to provide a new urban center for trade or administration. In the Czech Republic, one of the most notable places named Nove Mesto is Nove Mesto na Morave, recognized for its skiing and outdoor activities. In Prague, Nove Mesto refers to the New Town district established in the 14th century by Emperor Charles IV, which contrasts with the historical Old Town. Nove Mesto is characterized by modern urban infrastructure, historical architecture, and cultural significance.
