Learn More about Trieste

Trieste is the main city of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in north-eastern Italy. A port city, it occupies a narrow strip of land between the Adriatic coast and the Slovenian border, on the Carso limestone plateau. Trieste's architecture, which includes a medieval old town and a neoclassical Austrian quarter, reflects its Italian, Austro-Hungarian and Slovenian influences.
It is the capital of the autonomous region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and of the province of Trieste and has a population of about 200,000, known as the Triestines.

Trieste, as a border city and open to the sea, has the character of a city of important port trade, becoming one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean. The port activity was greatly reduced during the inter-war period, but it is still very present in the maritime station and in the various port facilities in the north and south of the city.
As the only city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire open to the Mediterranean Sea, it was the main access for many goods from overseas. 

The city of Trieste has places of worship for most religions. At the turn of the 20th century, Trieste was a city with strong minority religious communities: Greek and Serbian Orthodox, Armenian, Protestant (Lutheran, Reformed, Waldensian and Anglican) and above all the Jewish community, which had a significant economic, political and cultural influence.

Frequently Asked Questions by Travelers planning a trip to Trieste

When Trieste became an Italian city ?

On 3 November 1918, at around 4 p.m., a flotilla of four Italian destroyers emerged from the fog and entered the Austrian port of Trieste before an enthusiastic crowd. Several thousand men disembarked under the command of General Carlo Petitti di Roreto, who had been appointed military governor of the Veneto Giulia region and Istria. He announced that victory was assured and that the war was over.

Port of Trieste is located near the Corderie, and close to Parco Orlandini.
