A
Church of the Annunciation
The narrow, single-nave Church of the Annunciation near the Kostanjevica Monastery has interesting stuccos. In the spooky crypt is the tomb of the Bourbons (grobnica bourbonov), which contains the mortal remains of the last members of the French house of Bourbon, including Charles X (1757-1836).

Goriška Border Museum
