Gorizia, of Roman origin, developed over the centuries under the Habsburg empire and a key point during the Great War period, and Nova Gorica, born following the border established in 1947, were not chosen by chance as European Capital of Culture 2025. The circular route that crosses them, point by point, crossing a border that fell in 2007, leads the tourist to observe the historical and cultural beauties present. This brings awareness of the horror and destruction caused by the First and Second World Wars and, with them, those of every other war. The mistakes of the past are thus contrasted with the splendid beating of a city now flourishing, rich in culture and vitality, finally discovered as united.
