Coronini Cronberg Park

A 'landscape' garden located in the center of Gorizia, redesigned by Count Alfredo Coronini Cronberg in the second half of the 19th century.

The Coronini Cronberg Park extends over an area of nearly 5 hectares near the ancient Borgo Piazzutta, in Gorizia's centre.

Born as a square-plan Italian-style garden, during the second half of the nineteenth century it was re-designed by count Alfredo Coronini Cronberg, who transformed it into a "landscape" garden.

Designed with panoramic terraces, fountains, arbours, flights of steps and pools, it features many botanical species coming from the Mediterranean areas, from Central Balkan Europe, from Asia and from America.

Moreover, in harmony with the plants we find various statues and a small Neoclassical temple, located on a small hill made artificially with stones from Gorizia's Karst, inside which is a tank with a well, used to irrigate the garden through charming water games.

Among the illustrious people who visited the park and the Villa, we would like to mention the last king of France Charles X, who died at Palazzo Coronini in 1836, and archduke Ludwig Victor of Austria.
