Itinerary

1. 1

   Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia

   20min

   Welcome to the Europe’s largest open sea square (12280 square metres!). The square is so beautiful that it would be worth coming to Trieste just to see it. But many more attractions await us!

2. 2

   Arco di Riccardo

   10min

   An ancient Roman gate probably dating back to the 1st century A.D., opened in the ancient walls of the Roman Tergeste, built by Augustus in 33 B.C.

3. 3

   Cattedrale di San Giusto Martire

   20min

   This stands on the top of the hill of the same name, which was already the acropolis of the Roman city of Tergeste and probably the site of a sacred area. The present building, with five naves, is the result of the unification, in the early 14th century, of two separate religious complexes.

4. 4

   Castello di San Giusto

   20min

   One of the most representative symbols of the city, San Giusto Castle stands on the hill of the same name overlooking the city, its gulf and its hinterland. The entrance ticket (not included) costs €6: if you want to enjoy a beautiful view of the gulf it is worth it!

5. 5

   Teatro Romano di Trieste

   20min

   The Roman theatre in Trieste is located at the foot of San Giusto hill, in the heart of the city, on the edge of the historic area.

6. 6

   Stop 6

   20min

   Throughout the 19th century, this area was the economic heart of Trieste. Today it is an elegant square with several interesting buildings and some interesting facts that I will tell you about!

7. 7

   Chiesa Serbo Ortodossa Di San Spiridione

   20min

   Amazing building in the centre of the city. The church of St Spiridione is built in the shape of a Greek cross, reflecting the Byzantine style of eastern churches and has a central dome that is higher than the four bell towers.

8. 8

   Stop 8

   20min

   Commonly called ‘Sant’Antonio Nuovo’, it takes its name from an earlier church dating back to the mid 18th century. Built between 1828 and 1849, the new church was inspired by the classical majesty of important Roman monuments.
