Castello di Duino — Parco e Giardini
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Still home to the Thurn und Taxis family, Duino's castle stands on a limestone bluff above the gulf, with terraced gardens looking down at the sea rather than along the coastal path like the adjacent Sentiero Rilke. The grounds are shaded by pine and cypress, a cooler alternative on hot days.
