You’ve heard of it, but would you like to know more? Trieste is a small town, in the north-east of Italy, and it perfectly links the Italian peninsula with Slovenia, Austria and Croatia. Merging these wonderful territories, the result is a city rich in contrasts, cultures and different traditions: the Italian one, the Slovenian, the Austrian and so many more. Trieste has been the land of passage for many well-known personalities, including the Irish writer James Joyce who was so struck by the city that he affirmed: "My soul is in Trieste". We are taking you to discover the 10 things you can't help but do in Trieste: 00:00 Introduction 00:18 - 10. Unity of Italy Square. Having a real Italian breakfast is something you can do wherever you want in Italy: but how about having your breakfast in front of the sea? Unity of Italy Square, called “Big Square” before the Italian conquer, is the largest square facing the sea in Europe: with its smell of the sea, its liberty building and the multicultural environment, it creates the perfect atmosphere to make you feel more a part of the city and less of a tourist. 02:04 - 9. Cittàvecchia. The historic centre of Trieste, called “Cavana”, it’s the very core of the city. If you visit Trieste, you must take a walk inside the labyrinth of its narrow streets: you can have a coffee, buy amazing Italian food or have lunch in its small squares. 02:55 - 8. Remembrance Park and Public Garden. They represent the two main green lungs of Trieste. The first, located on the San Giusto hill, adjacent to the Castle, is the perfect place for jogging, or walking among the trees. The second is ideal if you want to enjoy some free time away from the bustle of the city, have a nice picnic or take children to play football. 3:50 - 7. La Pirona Cafè. This wonderful patisserie is the very location in which the Irish writer James Joyce started to composed his masterpiece, Ulysses.Their cakes and Italian desserts paired with a good coffee can make every day better. 4:40 - 6. San Giusto Castle and Cathedral. One of the most representative symbols of the city, the Castle of San Giusto stands on the hill of the same name that dominates the city, its gulf and its hinterland. Wanted by the emperors of Austria, it was built between 1468 and 1636. Beside the Castle, we find the Cathedral, a Catholic church built between 1302 and 1320. Both the Castle and the Cathedral were named after Giusto, a martyr who refused to deny his faith. For this reason, he was sentenced to death. The soldiers tied his hands and feet with a rope, to which lead weights were secured, then he was thrown into the water. Thanks to the lead weights, the body would no longer emerge. But, before sunset, Giusto's body was miraculously carried to the shore by the current. 8:07 - 5. Audace Pier. The pier was built between 1743 and 1751 on the wreck of the San Carlo, a ship sunk in the port. In 1922, in honour of the first ship of the Italian Navy to arrive in Trieste, the pier was renamed Molo Audace. At one time passenger and merchant ships docked at the San Carlo pier, given the fervent trade of the city of Trieste: now the sailboats dock for the famous Barcolana, a regatta that takes place in October, which attracts thousands of tourists every year. 9:10 - 4. Vittoria Lighthouse. This is the active lighthouse in Trieste: also, it’s a commemorative monument dedicated to the fallen of the first world war, as the inscription says: "SHINE AND REMIND OF THE FALLEN ON SEA MCMXV-MCMXVIII". Fun fact: the statue of the Winged Victory raises a torch with her left hand, while with her right she holds a laurel column. Rumour has it that during those days when the Bora blows in Trieste, her wings seems to move a little. 9:40 - 3. Napoleonic Road. This trail is perfect for all ages: it is very easy to access and the view is something you can’t miss. 10:45 - 2. Barcola Pinewood. Take a walk, ride a bike near the sea or sunbathe: these are just few activities you can do in Barcola. 11:35 - 1. Miramare Castle. The Castle was the residence of Maximilian, Emperor of the Austro-Ungarian Empire, and his wife Carlotta. Unfortunately, their story didn’t end well. Want to know more?
