Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GRADISCA , a town of
Austria
 , in the province of
Gorz
  and Gradisca, ro m. S.W. of
Gorz
  by
rail
 . Pop. (1900) 3843, mostly Italians. It is situated on the right bank of the Isonzo and was formerly a strongly fortified place. Its
principal
  industry is
silk
  spinning. Gradisca originally formed
part
  of the margraviate of Friuli, came under the patriarchate of Aquileia in 1028, and in r420 to Venice. Between 1471 and 1481 Gradisca was fortified by the Venetians, but in 1511 they surrendered it to the emperor
Maximilian
  I. In 1647 Gradisca and its territory, including Aquileia and
forty
 -three smaller places, were erected into a
separate
  countship in favour of Johann Anton von
Eggenberg
 , duke of Krumau. On the extinction of his line in 1717, it reverted to
Austria
 , and was completely incorporated with Gorz in 1754. The name was revived by the constitution of 1861, which established the crownland of Gorz and Gradisca.
