Trieste, home of Italo Svevo and Umberto Saba, is a cultural and religious crossroads. See the exceptional Miramare Castle overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, just a few miles north of the city, and built in accordance with the wishes of Maximilian of Habsburg, Archduke of Austria and Emperor of Mexico, and later to become the home of Duke Amedeo d'Aosta.
Make sure to visit the Giant Cave that opens onto the Carso Triestino, the plateau located behind Trieste. The spectacle is striking because of the cave’s unique proportions, and the skilful lighting used to highlight all that nature has created.
