With its many parks and gardens, until the First World War Gorizia was a cosmopolitan city where Italian, Friulian, Slovenian and German were spoken. Its historical centre is a perfect example of this cultural variety and features a rich mixture of architectural styles, ranging from Gothic to Baroque, Neoclassical to Art Nouveau. Today, it is a venue for meetings of international cooperation groups, cross-border festivals and cultural events at the national and international level.
