A MUSICAL CASTLE
We’d checked the distance and the castle seemed achievable from our hotel. Well, Lorraine thought she could walk it, though I had my doubts if she’d survive the climb. Along the flats in the middle of town it was easy but then there came the hill and a statue of Carlo Michelstaedter, a radical Italian philosopher of Jewish extraction whose one and only work was conceived as an undergraduate thesis, but he never saw it in print because he committed suicide in 1910, aged 23.
We troll past a shop with exotic foodstuffs and can’t help but notice some bottled Buderim ginger featured in the window. Just below it was another sign on some wrapped lollies “senza zucchero zenzero AUSTRALIA”, which meant I could buy my sugar free dried ginger right here. It’s a small world.
It was slow and overly warm getting up from there but we took it easy and Castello di Gorizia came into view. Dating back to the 11th century it’s clearly the highest point for miles around.
The chapel-sized Church of Santo Spirito seems like a ticket office on the way to the main attraction. In a park on the opposite side of the road there’s a bust of Gabrielle D’Annunzio, a famous and prolific Italian writer and WWI hero who was hugely influential in the Fascist movement, inspiring Mussolini. He was noted for self-promotion.
From the 11th century Gorizia was an independent county until Austria took over in 1500 and it became a major cultural centre. It was only after the fallout from WWI, when it suffered badly, that it came to be in Italian hands. This once castle-of-the-counts has now been done up as a tourist attraction but it holds a surprise, at least for those of us who hadn’t done their homework properly.
The solid walls are much covered in plant life these days and the parapets are quite impressive from below and when you enter through the gateways the cobblestone walkways add an air of authenticity as you climb their steep angle. Only the base is original though. It went through many rebuilds from the 13th to 16th century and was bombed during WWI before being restored for the final time. The restoration is evident in the variance of the colours in the stonework.

「Unassuming hotel on a side street. We walked from train station to hotel with luggage, over bumpy roads & narrow sidewalks, about 20min, at night. It was difficult to determine where the building was without Google maps. May not appeal to everyone but it had a small town European feel (tiny little elevator).The rooms we had were spacious & newly renovated. Spent 2 nights, easily walked to cruise ship port (20min). Hotel offered luggage storage so we could explore the morning b4 our cruise....

「We arrived very early but Leah allowed us to check in immediately and she opened the dining area in case we were hungry. She spent a long time on her phone arranging transportation for us for very early the next morning. The building is old, but the rooms were more than adequate and the beds were comfortable. The outdoor veranda was a perfect spot to enjoy wine and cheese from a nearby grocery store.」

「Lägenheten har allt man behöver ( har använt endast vattenkokaren och kylskåpet men det finns möjlighet till matlagning om man önskar det). Jag gillade läget, nära till allt. Många livsmedelsaffärer i närheten, inte prata om alla restauranger, mysiga kaféer.. Wifi och AC funkade alldeles utmärkt. Badrummet, belysningen var också till belåtenhet. Stort tack och uppskattning till Silvio som svarade inom några minuter när jag inte klarade av att öppna porten vid min sena ankomst. ( fattade inte...

「Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in dieser Unterkunft. Der Kontakt mit dem Gastgeber war sehr unkompliziert und freundlich. Die Unterkunft ist sehr modern, top eingerichtet und sauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Der einzige Nachteil war, dass wir unser Gepäck nicht abstellen konnten, wir haben es dann aber im Stadtzentrum in einen Spind gemacht. Die Unterkunft ist auch sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen und man ist schnell im Zentrum. Wir würden hier definitiv wieder übernachten und können es...
