Gorizia and the Great War 3 km 1 h 10 min

As Italy entered the war in May 1915, Gorizia suddenly found itself in the center of the main combat zones. After 28 months of war the city was totally destroyed: 680 houses devastated, 824 partially dismantled and 1279 damaged. Very few were intact. The itinerary guides you through the historic center to the discovery of the war wounds caused to a city that, at the end of the conflict, would no longer be the same.

The Habsburg Goriziaand the visit of Francis Joseph in 1900

3,06 km 1 h 10 min

The itinerary follows the emperor Francis Joseph's tour during his last visit in Gorizia on 29th and 30th September 1900. The streets, once decorated with triumphal arches and imperial insignia, will bring you to the discovery of the Hapsburg Gorizia, the city for which the Baron Carl von Czoernig coined the lucky nickname "The Austrian Nice" in 1873. It was the time when Gorizia was trying to establish itself as a prestigious tourist destination, promoting the creation of parks, hotels, cafes and shops, in a Central European and multiethnic atmosphere.

The Bourbons of France in exile to Gorizia 3,44 km 1 h 15 min

In 1830, after the abdication of Charles X and his son, Louis Angelo Duke of Angoulême, the Bourbons left forever France and their throne after over two centuries of reign. The way to exile, after Scotland and Bohemia, in 1836 brought the royal family to Gorizia, that was at the time part of the Austrian Coastal Region. A deep affection was immediately established between the prestigious guests and the small town located on the Isonzo river, with its warm welcome. The affection was further consolidated by the choice of Charles X and his descendants to use the Franciscan monastery of Castagnevizza, now in Slovenian territory, as burials site of the family.

Gorizia, the city of art and history 2,88 km 1 h 10 min

From the Castle and its hamlet, the itinerary takes you to the discovery of squares, churches, museums and palaces in the heart of Gorizia; places that in the past were meeting points for different peoples and cultures. From the time of the Counts of Gorizia – who reigned until 1550, when the city for hereditary aspects became domain of the Habsburgs – and passing through the reigns of Maria Theresa and Francis Joseph, the city has preserved its Central European charm, in which medieval, baroque and nineteenth–century testimonies harmoniously coexist.

Carlo Michelstaedterand the Jewish community in Gorizia

2,8 km 1 h 10 min

Through the places that marked the history of the Jews in Gorizia, the tour leads you to the discovery of the ghetto and the historic workshops that encouraged the economic development of the city, intertwining with the events of one of the most famous city characters, the philosopher Carlo Michelstaedter.

Gorizia and the architecture in the 20th Century 5,2 km 2 h

During the hundred years of the Short Century, Gorizia and its territory witnessed countless changes, that are also recognizable in the architectural works. The style of Palaces, Churches and Villas mark first the Central European period, influenced by Otto Wagner's school (with Max Fabiani, Antonio Lasciac and Silvano Barich), then the first postwar period and the Twenty Years, during which Rationalism and Novecentism were close to the need for Reconstruction (with Umberto Cuzzi and Angiolo Mazzoni) and finally the second 20th century, influenced by the International Culture.

Old border 6,23 km 35 min

A cross–border bike ride between Italy and Slovenia through the places and symbols related to the Border, which has conditioned the city life from the Treaty of Paris of 1947 to the fall of Iron Curtain and the subsequent entry of Slovenia into EU.

Typical aspects

Gorizia lies right in the middle of an area rich in food and wine (especially wine). Also handicrafts play a very important role: the art of lace–making has made Gorizia famous all over the world. Among the local specialties, the land products (such as the Rose of Gorizia and the “Brovada”) and the typical recipes born from the contamination between cultures (like Gubana and Pinza) are to be mentioned. You can smell the scent of Central Europe everywhere: in restaurants, bakeries, at festivals, in every corner of every square.
