Things to do in Gorizia

  1. Trattoria Blanch

    Set among fields, this wonderful country-house trattoria with a leafy garden is located 1km north of the centre of Mossa (a village 5km west of Gorizia and known as a centre of asparagus production). It has been in the same family since 1904, and specialises (in season) in game and mushrooms.

    The grand Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio, which was built from 1654 to 1724, lords over the town centre with a broad brush stroke of Eastern mystery, topped as it is by onion-shaped domes.

  4. Borgo Castello

    Gorizia’s main sight is its castello perched, rather like Trieste’s, atop a knoll-like hill. It was restored in the 1920s after suffering serious damage in WWI.
