Borgo Castello
The medieval quarter climbing the hillside below Gorizia Castle, with stone houses and quiet lanes. Free to wander and nearly empty of tourists, it feels like a village inside a city.
Square in Gorizia
Piazza Transalpina
A unique square straddling the Italian-Slovenian border, once divided by a wall and now freely walkable across both countries. A mosaic line in the pavement marks where the Iron Curtain stood until 2004.
