Gorizia (Italian pronunciation:[ɡoˈrittsja]ⓘ; Slovene: Gorica[ɡɔˈɾìːtsa]), colloquially stara Gorica 'old Gorizia'[3][4] to distinguish it from Nova Gorica (Standard Friulian: Gurize, Southeastern Friulian: Guriza; Bisiacco: Gorisia; German: Görz[ɡœʁts]ⓘ), is a town and comune (municipality) in northeastern Italy, in the autonomous region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It is located at the foot of the Julian Alps, bordering Slovenia. It is the capital of the Regional decentralization entity of Gorizia and is a local center of tourism, industry, and commerce. Since 1947, a twin town of Nova Gorica has developed on the other side of the modern-day Italy–Slovenia border. The region was subject to territorial dispute between Italy and Yugoslavia after World War II: after the new boundaries were established in 1947 and the old town was left to Italy, Nova Gorica was built on the Yugoslav side. The two towns constitute a conurbation, which also includes the Slovenian municipality of Šempeter-Vrtojba. Since May 2011, these three towns have been joined in a common trans-border metropolitan zone, administered by a joint administration board.[5]
The name of the town comes from the Slovene word gorica 'little mountain', which is a common toponym in Slovene-inhabited areas.[6]
