GORIZIA

Gorizia (Friulian: Gurize, Slovene: Gorica, German: Görz) is a town in northeastern Italy, at the foot of the Alps and bordering Slovenia. It is the capital of the Province of Gorizia, and is a local center of tourism, industry, and commerce. The town is located at the confluence of the valleys of IsonzoVipacco rivers. It lies in a plain overlooked by the Collio hills, which are renowned for the production of outstanding wines. Being sheltered from the north by a mountain ridge, Gorizia is protected from the cold Bora wind which affects most of the neighbouring areas. The city thus retains a mild Mediterranean climate throughout the year.
