• Abstract
  The castle is the symbol of Gorizia in Friuli. Considered an exclusively medieval monument after its reconstruction completed in 1937 following the First World War, the castle nevertheless played a considerable role in the modern age. It carried out three functions: representation of the power of the Habsburg ruler, defense from external (Venetians and French) enemies and detention of criminals. The castle was the official residence of the captain of the County of Gorizia. The archival documents illustrate the renovation and expansion works that gave the monument its almost final shape around 1700, when it mainly lost its military function – but as garrison and prison, the castle of Gorizia remained in use until 1914.
