 | | In what was once the Jewish quarter, the Synagogue, at Via Ascoli 19 (Mon, Fri and Sat 6-8pm; summer Tues and Thurs 6-8pm, winter 4-7pm; free), is also of Neoclassical design; the serene interior resembles those in Venice's Ghetto. |
 | | Probably the strangest sight in Gorizia is the crypt in the Franciscan monastery at Castagnavizza - Kostanjevica, rather, for the monastery lies across the border in Nova Gorica. |
 | | If that's full, try the comfortable but bland Alla Transalpina at Via Caprin 30 (tel 0481.530.291; L90,000-120,000/€46.48-61.98); the restaurant is overpriced, and it's a good 2km northeast of the centre, right on the Slovene border, but bus #1 runs every 15min from the train station through town, terminating opposite the hotel. |
