Trieste — Castello di San Giusto & Belvedere

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

The castle of San Giusto crowns the hill above Trieste, built up over centuries by Venetian and later Habsburg rulers, standing beside the city's Roman-era cathedral. The ramparts give a sweeping view over Trieste's rooftops, the harbour, and the gulf beyond, distinct from the Carso and Miramare viewpoints outside the city.
