\"gorizia<\/p>\n

Gorizia is a town of 36,000 Italian inhabitants, capital of the homonymous province in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.<\/p>\n

The city is the focal point of conjunction between the Latin and Slavic world and between Italy and Slovenia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Gorizia is a city of a particular charm and it will take a few days to discover its many treasures. The quiet dignity brings back the old Central European influences<\/strong>.\"gorizia<\/p>\n

Although architecturally the city seems to look a little as Vienna and as Venice<\/strong> not without something Slovenian, but always under Italian cultural influences that are clearly prevalent.<\/p>\n

Situated in a pleasant valley traversed by the lower course of the Isonzo, the city is surrounded by green hills and a circle of mountains<\/span> that was the scene of bloody battles during the First World War.<\/p>\n

Active industrial and commercial center, Gorizia, in spite of urban expansion, managed to preserve its historic centre imprint of nineteenth-century garden city which is testified by the presence of large areas of public parks including the famous \u201cpark of remembrance<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

The city is home to many cultural institutions, it hosts the European Symposium on Choral Music<\/strong> and in this city it is prepared every year a very important international exhibition called Espomego.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gorizia can be used as an excellent base for excursions<\/strong> to places associated with sad memories of World War I,<\/strong> as the battlefields of Isonzo and Carso, the Ossuary Oslavia, the Mount St. Michael and the Ossuary Redipuglia<\/span> .\"gorizia<\/p>\n

One of the reasons, but not the only one, to visit Gorizia, is its castle overlooking the city<\/strong>. Its construction was begun in the twelfth century by the counts Lurnhau and Pusterthal.<\/p>\n

Today, after many vicissitudes and damage of war, the castle has been beautifully restored and features many rooms decorated with antiques and adorned with many works of art.<\/p>\n

Of great charm is the village area around the castle, which retains many interesting buildings.
\nAmong these there is the Ressauer House<\/strong> built in 1475 in Venetian Gothic style and the Formentini Palace<\/strong>, a seventeenth-century building now housing the Museum of History and Art<\/strong>, which boasts a collection of artefacts ranging from prehistory to the present.<\/p>\n

In the same area there is the Church of the Holy Spirit <\/strong>built in 1398 which has an original rough stone facade and two towers.<\/p>\n
