Fascinating history
To fully appreciate Novigrad for its historical significance, we have to go back to 599 AD to find the first written reference to its existence. Since then, the region has been inhabited by many different cultures that have all left their mark on the still largely preserved natural beauty.
Today, the historic town is filled with many preserved sites full of narrow ancient streets and secular architecture nestled in the medieval layout of the city center.
