Unity of Italy Square
佟佟贝勒爷In the previous articles, I talked to you about several niche cities in Italy. Today, I will continue. Trieste is located on the northeast coast of the Adriatic Sea, the northwest side of the Istrian Peninsula, and the top of the Bay of Trieste. It is the largest free port city in Italy. After World War II, it was governed by Yugoslavia and returned to Italy after 1954.
Today I will take you to visit the Italian Unity Square. This is the main square of Trieste and the largest seaside square in Europe. It is surrounded by off-white historical buildings on three sides and faces the bay on the other side. It looks very grand. It is located at the foot of Mount San Giusto and faces the Adriatic Sea. It was once the most important port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At that time, it was not only a prosperous port city but also a center of music and literature. However, it gradually declined as it was incorporated into Italy.
There are two Unity Squares in Italy. This is the earliest and largest one. So generally, if you ask Italians where their Unity Square is, they will tell you that it is in Trieste. I have also been to the other one in Florence, which is indeed half the size. The square was built in the 19th century and is surrounded by government offices such as the Town Hall and the District Administration Building. The sea view on the opposite side is even more beautiful. There is a bronze statue of a flag-raiser on the shore, which is called the Liberation Monument. The most important thing here is the cruise home port, which can accommodate large cruise ships of tens of thousands of tons. I came to Trieste this time at the invitation of Costa, the largest cruise company in Italy, because the new ship Costa Venezia in the photo will make its maiden voyage in two days. I am looking forward to it!
Historical Museum of the Miramare Castle
佟佟贝勒爷I took you to Bari a few days ago, and today we continue our trip to Trieste, Italy. Trieste is a famous seaport city in northeast Italy. Today, the Miramaré Castle I take you to is the city's most famous attraction, and the value of this castle is of great importance to the whole of Italy! She was built on the seaside of the Adriatic Sea, near Trieste Bay, between 1856 and 1860 for the Grand Duke of Austro-Hungarian Maximiliano I and his wife. The castle of Miramare was designed by Carl Junker and looks like it stands directly above the waves. Surrounded by a 22-hectare garden, this garden is known for its diverse tropical trees and flowers, quiet and elegant, comfortable and elegant, and this time I went to the middle of March, affected by the warm ocean currents, the flowers have been competing to open, people feel refreshed. The white Miramare Castle is surrounded by mountains and seas, with beautiful scenery. It is said that none of the many rooms in the castle can't see the sea, so this castle is known as a "water-friendly mansion". Walking into the castle, I visited Maximiliano I's master room and guest room, and pictures of his crowning Mexican lord hang on the walls. All rooms in the present Miramaré castle remain decorated and decorated in the same year, in a rationalist style, with decorations, furniture and other history dating back to the mid-19th century. Visiting the castle requires an appointment in advance, and the appointment form is handed over to the staff in the main entrance of the castle. Photographs are allowed in the castle but no videos are allowed. And you must visit in the order of signs placed inside, so you cannot walk around.
