Castello di Rubbia

The castle features a square layout with four corner towers, positioned at the meeting point of the Isonzo and Vipacco rivers near Gorizia.

Built between the 15th and 16th centuries, the castle belonged to the Counts della Torre-Valsassina before passing to the Coronini family in the 16th century.

The castle entrance displays a bust commemorating Protestant preacher Primož Trubar, who resided at Rubbia in 1563 during his religious activities.

Located at Via Primoz Trubar 22, the private property opens to visitors only during special occasions, such as the FAI open days in March 2014.

Roman construction techniques are visible on some corner stones of the tower, indicating the presence of an earlier fortification at this strategic location.
