    today a small wall that marks the border between Italy and Slovenia. Until a few decades ago the militarized border between two completely opposing worldviews. The iron curtain that cut Gorizia passed through here. Today only a simulacrum but this division unfortunately still survives

    This small wall and many other still-standing fences, walls, partitions, and railings are reminders of the Iron Curtain era. Unfortunately, the symbolism of the demolished wall has not yet completely removed the "Iron Curtain along the Italy/Slovenia border."
