Gorizia (
Slovenian: Gorica,
German: Görz,
Friulian: Gurize) is a small town at the foot of the
Alps, in northeastern
Italy, on the border with
Slovenia. It is the capital of the
Province of Gorizia, and is a local center of tourism, industry, and commerce. In
Slovenian, Gorica means "little hill." The city is located at the confluence of the valleys of
Isonzo and
Vipacco 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 not touched by the cold winds coming from there. And although the
Bora can blow from the east, the city still retains a mild climate.
