Rich in history, art and culture, Trieste has always been the connecting point between the West and Central Europe.
A multiethnic city, it collects and preserves evidence and places of worship of all religions.
Trieste's fortune?
Its port, which became central to the 18th-century economy, thanks to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the same port that will host the 17th Olio Capitale Expo from March 14-16, 2025.
Dynamic, sparkling, surprising:
Trieste is also shopping, entertainment, good food and breathtaking sunsets. The capital of the
province of the same name,
the smallest in Italy, Trieste and its Gulf area contain numerous environmental and cultural treasures such as the Karst area, the Timavo River, the Castle of Miramare and the Castle of Duino open to the public albeit the private residence of the Princes of Thurn and Taxis (von Thurn und Taxis).
Piazza Unità d'Italia is the beating heart of the city, the most beautiful and the most symbolic overlooking the sea is also the largest in Europe.
The most fascinating side of the square is the one that faces the sea, where the
Molo Audace extends for more than two hundred meters.
From here, the gaze sweeps everywhere from the Greek Orthodox church of San Nicolò, to the Grand Canal, the heart of the borough created by Maria Theresa of Austria, which with its churches testifies to the harmonious coexistence of different religions.
Of course, a visit to the center's many historic venues is a must.
Combine business with pleasure: attend Olio Capitale Expo and experience the magic of Trieste.
