Staro mestece na gricu sredi Vipavske doline.
ENG:

SLO:
Kriški gric je bil že v rimskih casih na višini 183 m pomembna stateška tocka sredi Vipavske doline. Pod imenom Križ (Villa Crucis) se v dokumentih prvic omenja leta 1030 zaradi že takrat obstojece cerkve sv. Križa.

Leta 1482 je dal zadnji goriški grof Lenard to naselje obdati z obzidjem, kot obrambni tabor proti Turkom, ki so osemkrat pridrli na Goriško. Oskrbniki tabora so postali grofje Thurn (Della Torre).

Leta 1507 je kraj z imenom Sveti Križ na Vipavskem postal trg. Naslednje leto so ga zasedli Benecani in ostali tam 14 mesecev. Na zidu hiše pod župnijsko cerkvijo se še vidi topovska krogla iz tistih casov. Takrat so prvic na Slovenskem pokali topovi.

Leta 1532 je cesar Ferdinand I. povzdignil Križ »na vecne case« v mesto. Oskrbnik tabora grof Vito Della Torre je takrat zacel zidati mogocen grad in ga leta 1535 dozidal.

V casu širjenja protestantizma je deželni grof Jurij Thurn leta 1563 poklical Primoža Trubarja v Gorico oznanjat novo vero. Trubar se je ustavil in pridigal tudi v Križu, o cemer prica spominska plošca pred župnijskim domom.

V casu protireformacije so Thurni leta 1605 prodali grad grofu Hermanu Attemsu. Sin Friderik je leta 1636 zacel ob gradu zidati samostan za kapucine, ki so prišli v Križ leta 1637 in so tu neprekinjeno do danes. Šest let pozneje je bila posvecena samostanska cerkev sv. Franciška, kjer je tudi grobnica prvih grofov Attems.

Leta 1660 je na mestu stare cerkvice na zahodni strani Križa bila postavljena mogocna cerkev sv. Križa v novogotskem slogu, ki je sedaj župnijska cerkev. V sedanjo barocno obliko je bila predelana v letih 1902 in 1904.

Leta 1864, na dan Novega leta, je silovita burja razkrila kriški grad. Zato so se kriški grofje preselili v Gorico. Nekdanji mogocni grad je zacel razpadati. Vendar še po tolikih letih tudi kot ruševina daje Križu videz izrednosti.

Za ogled samostana se je potrebno predhodno najaviti.

In 1532, Emperor Ferdinand I. Križ lifted "to eternity" in the city. Fort keeper Earl Vito Della Torre then began to build a mighty castle, and in 1535 it was built.

During the spread of Protestantism, the provincial Count Jurij Thurn in 1563 called Primož Trubar in Gorica proclaim the new faith. Trubar was stopped and preached in the Križ, as evidenced by a memorial plate in front of parish home.

Six years later he was consecrated the monastery church of St. Francis, where is the tomb of the first Counts of Attems.
