With its location away from the main Italian peninsula on the Slovenian border combined with a heavy Austrian cultural influence, Trieste can at times feel somewhat detached from Italy but remains one of the country's most interesting cities with a distinct air of regal grandeur.
Situated at the eastern corner of the Gulf of Trieste at the northernmost point of the Adriatic, Trieste has long been of strategic importance and as such, control of it has been fiercely contested. |
