TRIESTE
|
 |
The city of Trieste stands out over
the blue sea and sky on the furthest patch of the Italian
Adriatic and appears like a last Mediterranean mirage for
those following this northern stretch of the coast;
Trieste’s originality and diversity are brought together in
street after street, squares and palaces which almost
entirely retain their testimony to Roman, Venetian and above
all Austro-Hungarian architecture.The crossroads of culture
that animate this Julian regional capital are expressed
through a rich and extremely varied museum network, a large
number of cafés (meeting places for all walks of life) and
literary thoroughfares where you can relive the experiences
of the various Svevo, Saba and Joyces.
The urban pedestrian itinerary cannot prescind the old city,
dominated by the San Giusto hills, from the Teresiano
“borgo” with the most modern part of the city, and obviously
the most natural starting point is Piazza Unitŕ, the largest
square in Europe which overlooks the sea.
The surrounding areas of the city offer numerous
entertainment and exploration possibilities such as the
majestic Duino and Miramare castles, the Gulf with its
little beaches and the port of Muggia, the Grotta Gigante, a
tourist cavity without equal anywhere in the world, and the
green Karstic highlands which run alongside the Coast. |
