But still, Trieste offers a unique style, culture, and history somewhat different from the rest of the country

If you are looking for a great place to start exploring Trieste, we recommend that you visit Piazza del Unita d'Italia, which is located at the forefront of the historic city and has many charming restaurants and cafes with stunning views of the magical scenes.

Trieste Town Hall occupies center stage in the Trieste Grand Square, with other government buildings flanking both sides of the building, each of which has a stunning architectural design, reminiscent of Austrian architecture especially in Vienna. You will also find many wonderful monuments and statues scattered throughout the square, most notably the two iron columns that lead you to the entrance to the square.

This square is said to be the largest coastal square in Europe and was commissioned by Maria Theresa of Austria during Austria's most prosperous age, who understood the importance of the port, considering it the only port of the Habsburg Empire, and thus, she invested heavily in the design of that square.
