GORIZIA -- BETWEEN ART AND HISTORY

Starting from the Castle this tour takes us to the heart of Gorizia’s old town centre. We discover squares, churches, museums and aristocratic palazzos that were, in the past, meeting points for different cultures and ethnic groups.

From the time of the Gorizia Counts, in power until 1500, when, by virtue of succession, Gorizia passed to the Habsburgs, to the realm of Maria Theresa and Franz Joseph, the city maintained its “Mitteleuropean” character with medieval, baroque and 19th century embellishments forming a harmonious whole.
