History

Nova Mokošica is a residential district developed from the early 1980s with the construction of multi-story dwellings. Situated on terrain once covered by olive groves, vineyards, and fields, the district has evolved to include a range of amenities. These include residential buildings, a primary school, a sports hall, a kindergarten, a health center, cafes, shops, a bank, a bakery, a post office, betting shops, children's playgrounds, and sports courts for adults. Plans exist for the construction of a new church and a large shopping center.

The initial phase of development featured numerous high-rise buildings erected in the 1980s and early 1990s. Subsequent phases saw the introduction of smaller residential structures. These typically consist of three to four-story residential buildings and two-story villas with up to four rooms per unit. In 2005, a fourth phase commenced, focusing on buildings under the Housing Incentive Program (POS), significantly altering the district's appearance.
