Trieste
As the poet Umberto Saba wrote: “Trieste has an unsociable grace. Located between the sea and the mountains of Carso, beautiful and fascinating, she does not like to show off, although she conquers her visitor at first sight.” Tergeste, as Trieste was named during the Roman era, is to be discovered on foot, to fully taste her richness and to breathe, through her streets, buildings and monuments, her 2000-year-old history.Hitta resa
This is one of the largest and certainly most beautiful squares facing the sea in Europe, in the very heart of the city. Looking at the sea, on your right you will find Palazzo Modello, Casa Stratti and Palazzo del Governo. On your left, you will see Palazzo Pitteri and Palazzo del Lloyd Triestino. It is an absolute must to stop and sit in one of the old cafés lining the square.
The Roman Theatre was built between the first and second century AD, on behalf of Quinto Petronio Modesto from Trieste and it can hold about 6,000 spectators. The statues that adorned the theatre are now preserved in the Town Museum.
Trieste Cathedral's main feature is a large 14th-century Gothic rose window and central location. There are three entrance portals, decorated with Roman material.

In 1855, the Archduke Massimiliano of Hapsburgs built this palace and lived here with his wife Carlotta del Belgio, until 1864. Though beautiful, this castle holds a tormented story behind it: Massimiliano was killed in Mexico in 1867, and Charlotte died insane in a Belgian castle, sixty years later. The Duke of Aosta, who lived there some sixty years later, died in Africa during World War II.
At the end of the Rilke path, you will find the Castello Vecchio (10th-11th century), which survives today as the ruins of a tower and an arch. The Castello Nuovo is today a group of buildings of different ages, with a central courtyard and surrounded by a beautiful park.
Sentiero Rilke is one of the most enchanting paths in Carso, a wonderful walk starting from Sistiana and leading to the castle of Duino along white cliffs. Named after Rainer Maria Rilke, the famous poet from Prague, who loved walking here.
