Beautiful and cultured, Trieste is Italy’s most cosmopolitan city. Here there are still echoes of the glorious Habsburg past and in the mixture of languages, peoples and religions you can really sense its Central European and Mediterranean souls.
The heart of the city is the most beautiful and most symbolic of all its squares, Piazza Unità d’Italia, which is surrounded by buildings that summarize Trieste’s history. However, the most spectacular side of the square is the one facing the sea, from which a pier, the Molo Audace, extends for over two hundred metres. From here, the romantic castle of Miramare takes the scene.
