Villa Coronini Cronberg
Originally constructed in the immediate north-western periphery of the town, today Villa Coronini Cronberg is in the heart of the city of Gorizia. Executed probably on a plan by architect Giulio Baldigara at the end of 16th century, on behalf of Carl Zengraf, the residence is characterized by a massive body developed on three floors with its nineteenth-century wing and loggia.
Today the Villa Coronini Cronberg is a relevant cultural entity. not only for the city of Gorizia, but for the entire Friuli Venezia Giulia Region. The severe facade of the palace finds a number of ornaments in the porch supported by four 2nd century powerful diorite's columns and in the airy terrace with two orders of arches. The terrace connects the villa to the chapel of 17th century where the last descendants of the counts Coronini Cronberg are buried. Counts Coronini Cronberg's family line, of Bergamo origin, concluded in September 1990 with the death of count Guglielmo Coronini, a fascinating man of versatile culture and artistic sensitivity; also a passionate researcher and collector.
The park in English style of the Coronini villa (nearly 12.5 acres wide) is open every day from dawn to sunset, free of charges.
