Province of Gorizia

The province of Gorizia encompasses 466 square kilometers of northeastern Italian territory, stretching from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea coastline.

The territory remained under Austrian control until World War I, after which it became part of Italy and formed its own province in 1927, separating from Udine.

Three municipalities maintain a Slovenian ethnic majority, while Italian legislation protects linguistic minorities across nine different administrative zones within the province.

The province contains 25 municipalities, including the capital city of Gorizia, with direct transportation links to Slovenia and important commercial centers.

The Collio wine region within the province produces notable wines, while the coastal town of Grado serves as a primary summer destination.
