Discover Trieste's Historic Heart
We'll begin our tour at Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, one of the largest seafront squares in Europe. Here, surrounded by elegant neoclassical buildings, we'll uncover the historical significance of Trieste as a port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You'll admire the Palazzo del Governo and the Town Hall while listening to stories that recount the city's vibrant past. We'll then proceed toward the Cathedral of San Giusto, situated on the hill overlooking the city. This majestic church, with its rich collection of mosaics, is a symbol of Trieste's spirituality and offers breathtaking panoramic views from the top of the hill. From there, we'll reach the Ancient Roman Theatre. This theatre is one of the remnants of old Tergeste, a city with a lively cultural life during the Roman era, and it offers a unique atmosphere. Finally, we'll head to the Borgo Teresiano, designed in the 18th century under the reign of Maria Theresa of Austria. This neighborhood features orderly streets and beautifully decorated palaces. We'll admire the Church of Sant'Antonio Nuovo, an example of neobaroque architecture, standing near the Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint Spiridione, a church in Neo-Byzantine style. During the tour, we'll share fascinating curiosities: did you know that Trieste is known as "the city of the Bora wind"? Or that the coffee tradition is a fundamental part of Trieste's life, with historic cafés like Caffè Tommaseo?
