Kalejdoskop goriške preteklosti, zgodbe o spominu in pozabi ('Kaleidoscope of the Past - Memories and Forgotten Stories from the Border') is a story about lives of the people living along the ...Slovenian-Italian border. In this area, the idea of the border is manifold, it is a state border, a territorial border, a temporal border between what had happened and the interpretations of past events today. The author discusses the divisive past and the seemingly uniting present permeating the area. She tells a story about the city Gorica, to which both Italians and Slovenians lay claims, a story about the struggle for redemption and freedom, about people who stroll along the same river, shop in the same shops and eat indulge similar cuisines. Still, they manage to retain a thin line of differentiation, a mentally construed abyss invariantly fortifying the distance. Since 2007, the border is visually gone yet it remains the criterion of spatial differentiation and identity formation, the founding stone of respective communities.
Among the activities of St. Clement of Ohrid was the construction of the church and monastery in Ohrid, which was carried out at the end of the 9th century at the location where some Byzantine ...basilicas had stood previously. As findings of archaeological excavations have shown, St. Clement first built a small triconch church at the location of the ruined basilica. This triconchos was later expanded by the addition of a capacious “pronaos” in inscribed-cross form, where St. Clement was interred. This “pronaos” was characterized by entrances on the north and south sides that were identical to those of the inscribed-cross church that existed near the village of Velcë along the Šušica River (in southern Albania) at the turn of the 9th‒10th century. During the tenure of Archbishop Dmitrios Chomatianos (1216–1236), the “pronaos” was replaced with a new church into which the relics of St. Clement were placed. In the Ottoman period, the Church and Monastery of St. Clement were disassembled to build a mosque. At the very beginning of the 10th century, the triconchal church in the Monastery of St. Clement served as a model for the church in the Monastery of St. Naum, in the southern part of the Ohrid lake area. The groundwork(s) of a further church in a triconchal shape, whose construction can be traced back to the time of St. Clement, has also been discovered at Gorica, near Ohrid. Ruins of yet another triconchal church which also belongs to the period under review can be found near the village of Zlesti, in the Dolna Debarca region, not far from Ohrid. In the vicinity of the village of Izdeglavje, in the Gorna Debarca region, there is also a church whose establishment is related to the activity of St. Clement of Ohrid as well.
Steber Sv. Ignacija je leta 1687 mestu podaril grof di Porcia, kar lahko še danes preberemo na podstavku. Pred tem je bil na mestu kamnitega stebra lesen kip, ki je bil postavljen ob obisku Leopolda ...I., leta 1660. Ob takratnem obisku cesarja so lombardski mojstri pripravili veliko pirotehnično prireditev, na katero so se ljudje pripeljali iz bližnjih in daljnih krajev, saj so bili pirotehniki iz Lombardije eni najbolj poznanih v Evropi.
Na sredi trga stoji Neptunov vodomet. Vodomet, ki prikazuje Neptuna in Tritone, so leta 1756 postavili po načrtu arhitekta Pacassija. Postavljen je na mestu, kjer se je, preden je mesto dobilo ...vodovod, nahajal vodnjak.
Travnik je bil že na začetku, kljub temu, da je bil izven mestnega obzidja, deležen prireditev. V času Goriških grofov so tu prirejali viteške turnirje in zabaviščne sejme. Tu so se zbirale različne ...milice in vojske, ki so hotele zavzeti grad. V času kuge konec 17. stoletja, so se na tem trgu, ob stebru Sv. Ignacija, na maši zbrali preživeli in tu so bili leta 1713 usmrčeni tolminski puntarji. Trg je v stoletjih gostil velike slovesnosti, za cesarje, ki so obiskali mesto (Leopold I., Karl VI.) in leta 1717 pričal »ustoličenju« Svetogorske matere božje.
The eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano starting on 14 April 2010 resulted in the spreading of volcanic ash over most parts of Europe. In Slovenia, the presence of volcanic ash was monitored ...using ground-based in-situ measurements, lidar-based remote sensing and airborne in-situ measurements. Volcanic origin of the detected aerosols was confirmed by subsequent spectral and chemical analysis of the collected samples. The initial arrival of volcanic ash to Slovenia was first detected through the analysis of precipitation, which occurred on 17 April 2010 at 01:00 UTC and confirmed by satellite-based remote sensing. At this time, the presence of low clouds and occasional precipitation prevented ash monitoring using lidar-based remote sensing. The second arrival of volcanic ash on 20 April 2010 was detected by both lidar-based remote sensing and airborne in-situ measurements, revealing two or more elevated atmospheric aerosol layers. The ash was not seen in satellite images due to lower concentrations. The identification of aerosol samples from ground-based and airborne in-situ measurements based on energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed that a fraction of particles were volcanic ash from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption. To explain the history of the air masses bringing volcanic ash to Slovenia, we analyzed airflow trajectories using ECMWF and HYSPLIT models.
Cesar Leopold I. je bil prvi habsburški vladar, ki je prišel po dedni poklon v Gorico. Od leta 1500 naprej, od izumrtja dinastije Goriških grofov in prehoda Goriške grofije pod Habsburžane, so ...deželni stanovi svojo vdanost prisegali cesarjevim odposlancem in ne osebno. Dedni poklon je imel sicer v času Leopolda I. samo še simbolno vrednost, vendar je bil to, sploh ob vladarjevi prisotnosti, velik spektakel in zgodovinski dogodek, zlasti za glavno deželno mesto, kot je bila Gorica. Cesarjev obisk v Gorici je potekal po točno določenem protokolu, v Gorico je vstopil 18. septembra 1660 na severni strani, pri mestnih vratih, kjer se danes nahaja Trg Na Kornu. Z gradu so ga spremljale salve topov, ob poti so mu postavili dva slavoloka, prenočeval je v goriškem gradu, obiskal pa je tudi jezuite in župnijsko cerkev. Cesar se je iz Gorice odpravil sedmi dan po svojem prihodu, 24. septembra 1660. Na njegov prihod še danes spominjajo »Leopoldova vrata« (na sliki), ki so jih na grajskem griču postavili prav zato, da bi počastili cesarjev obisk.
Palača Kvesture, je bila najprej palača Deželnih stanov, ki so v palači sestankovali do ukinitve, leta 1815. Že v 13. stoletju je na tem mestu stala stavba, kjer so spravljali žito in ga razdeljevali ...med prebivalce mesta. Na začetku 14. stoletja so nato dogradili še »loggio«, kjer so se zbirali svetovalci goriškega Magistrata, trgovci in obrtniki. Ob koncu 15. stoletja je bila loggia v tako slabem stanju, da so fonde za popravilo in nadzidavo stavbe v palačo, ki bi lahko gostila mestne urade in sodstvo, zbirali po celotni grofiji. Leta 1520 so tako dogradili palačo Deželnih stanov. V palači se je nahajalo tudi sodišče, ki je v tistih časih velikokrat izrekalo smrtno kazen, v večini za umore in uboje, ki so bili med prebivalci zelo pogosti. Da so prihranili čas in denar, so ob gradnji palače enega izmed tramov strehe podaljšali in tako dobili »permanentne vislice«.Palača je imela štiri oboke. Od teh štirih loki sta se prva dva uporabljala za dostop do prehoda, ki je potekal ob cerkvi in vodi do pokopališča. Druga dva loka sta bila povezana v loggio, kjer so bili javnosti na voljo uradni primerki merskih enot. Palača je bila konec 17. in začetek 18. stoletja v celoti prenovljena in predrugačena. Loggio, glavno zbirališče meščanov in trgovcev, so zazidali in prostore spremenili v tako obliko, kot jo lahko vidimo še danes.
Trgu Travnik se na severni strani priključi manjši trg, kjer je sedež Goriške nadškofije. Nasproti nadškofijske palače pa je bila v začetku 20. stoletja zelo znana trgovina z blagom v lasti Ignacija ...Steinerja. V njeni izložbi so bile leta 1911 prvič razstavljenje ženske hlače, juppe culotte.
Ob vznožju gradu, kjer se nahaja trg Sv. Antona, se razprostira stari del mesta, ki je bil nekoč zavarovan z jarkom (domačini so mu pravili »grapa«) in zidom (»zenta«). Zid je bil spodnje obzidje ...(gornje obzidje je varovalo grad in njegovo naselje), ki je ločevalo mesto od njegove okolice. »Dolnje mesto«, ki je mestne pravice prejelo leta 1455, je poleg trga Sv. Antona obsegalo še Stolni trg in ulico Raštel. Obzidje je imelo pet vrat, skozi katera so lahko meščani in prišleki vstopali in izstopali iz mesta. Ena od vrat so bila na koncu ulice Raštel, ob vhodu na Travnik, ena ob današnji stolnici, nadalje na začetku ulice delle Monache, »devinska vrata« so stala na koncu ulice Rabatta, »kraška vrata« pa so se nahajala za Lanthierijevo palačo.
