Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia

Reviewed By saronic - Zurich, Switzerland

Trieste is at its most majestic by the Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia. Covered with sandstone slabs, free of traffic, it is surrounded by palaces and it is also facing the sea. Most guidebooks will tell you that this is Europe's largest square by the sea. Spontaneously Lisbon's Praça do Comércio came to my mind, which is more than twice as big, but okay it is facing a river, not really the sea. Going around clockwise one will first pass the Palazzo del Governo with its mosaics at the façade. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, it is the youngest structure here. Next comes the Casa Stratti, built for a rich Greek merchant, now housing the famous Café degli Specchi, a place not to miss, when here. The third palace on this side is the Palazzo Modello, the Town Hall, originally meant as a guesthouse. The large building on the opposite side of the sea, with a tower at the centre and many arched windows, is the Palazzo del Municipio, a work by the Triestine architect Giuseppe Bruni, who also built the Palazzo Modello, and who was a representative of the eclecticism in architecture, mixing different past styles. In front of the Palazzo del Municipio is the 'Fontana dei Quattro Continenti', the square's oldest structure, erected in 1750, which explains, why Australia is missing. Captain James Cook only landed on this continent 20 years later. On the right side of the Piazza, looking at it from the sea, comes the oldest palace, the Palazzo Pitteri from 1790, today owned by the insurance company Lloyd Adriatico. Some tourists will know the next palace also from the inside, when they are staying here. Once as the 'Locanda Grande' the largest hotel in town, it has been renamed in the 1970's as 'Grand Hotel Duchi d'Aosta'. Last building on this side, close to the sea, is the Palazzo del Lloyd Triestino, now the seat of the regional government.

Carso Triestino

Reviewed By vchiara22 - Trieste, Italy

The Karst has a long history, hidden between its leaves. In every path you step, every tree you meet has something to tell you. And while you enjoy its quiet and fiery, you are overwhelmed by the view of the sea

Giardino botanico Carsiana

Il Giardino botanico Carsiana si colloca all'interno di una dolina nel Comune di Sgonico, a 18 km dalla città di Trieste. Il giardino è stato ideato con l'obiettivo di raccogliere, conservare ed illustrare la flora e la vegetazione spontanee del Carso. Circa 600 sono le specie floristiche raccolte nei 5000 mq dedicati a giardino botanico. Carsiana vuole essere quindi una “sintesi del paesaggio carsico” che consegna al visitatore un quadro esaustivo dei principali aspetti ecologici del territorio. L'esposizione è completata da alcune aiuole dedicate alle piante officinali ed eduli.

Cattedrale di San Giusto Martire

Reviewed By minnekes2018 - Venice, Italy

This cathedral is in reality two churches, which in the 14th century were joined together. The two original basilicas were erected between the 9 and 11th centuries. The first one was dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption and the second one to S. Justus (S. Giusto, an early Christian Martyr). The Roman pillars in both churches are beautiful. the 14th central a new central nave was built to join the two churches and a new façade was added with a fine-looking Gothic rose window. In the bell tower you can see some of the Roman remains of the site on which the original church was built. When walking outside to the edge of the piazza you have a wonderful view over Trieste and the bay.

Beach Barcola

Reviewed By DvoraVienna - Vienna, Austria

Difficult parking on weekends but somehow always manage to get a spot.....Beautiful view of the city, convenient kiosks with snacks and drinks....and every few meters the historical half circle changing coves with free showers and wc....The water is usually quite clean, especially for being so close to a major town. I suppose because the shipping business ain't what it used to be....The harbor is pretty quiet.

Castello di Miramare - Museo Storico

Reviewed By denivit2018 - Trieste, Italy

This beautiful castle is filled with historical enchanting artifacts, as well as the beautiful setting on a bluff on the Adriatic Sea. Stroll the gardens and stay for the summer evening light show that tells the story of Maximillian and Carlota of Mexico, Napoleons involvement and Frank Joseph of Austria. Sit by the waters edge and dip your foot in the Adriatic Sea, near the Sphinx built to welcome Maximillian home.

Museo Revoltella

Reviewed By Quill2005 - Ocala, United States

Like the Miramare Castle, the Piazza Unita, and the San Giusto Cathedral, the Museo Revoltella should be a part of any visit to Trieste. This elegant home of one of Trieste’s most prominent citizens from the 19th century, Baron Revoltella (who contributed to the building of the Suez Canal) contains a collection of beautiful artwork and furniture which is a feast for the eyes. Be prepared to spend several hours looking around, you won’t be disappointed.
