The Isonzo-Soča river and its bridges

The Isonzo-Soča River and its bridges History, Engineering, Architecture, Environment, Landscape

The Isonzo-Soča River stretches some 136 kilometres from its source in Slovenia's Trenta Valley—winding through nearly 100 kilometres of Slovenian territory before continuing its journey across 40 kilometres of Italian territory—until it flows into the Gulf of Trieste. Like all rivers, the Isonzo-Soča creates a natural divide in the territory.

Over the centuries, people have connected its banks by building bridges, combining artistry and engineering ingenuity.

This exhibition showcases these bridges—presenting their history, construction techniques, materials, and future prospects.

It takes visitors on a journey through the territory nourished by this river, revealing its rich social, political, and cultural heritage.

The exhibition traces recurring cycles of destruction and renewal—from the barbarian invasions to the devastating World Wars—as repeated conflicts led to these bridges being demolished and rebuilt.
