5. Museo Casa di Osiride Brovedani
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 7 reviews
SIAMO APERTI!!! Il museo "Casa di Osiride Brovedani" è un luogo della memoria, da visitare per conoscere la vita di uno dei benefattori di Trieste, le cui vicende personali e imprenditoriali, con la Fissan, si intrecciano con la storia della città del Novecento, e per scoprire quanto lontano si può andare quando si crede in se stessi e nella forza delle proprie idee. Il ricordo del passato è essenziale per vivere il presente con una maggiore consapevolezza. Occorre ricordare la tragedia nazista, e gli altri episodi di sterminio del XX secolo, per saper riconoscere la deriva ideologica e frenarla sul nascere. E occorre anche avere il riferimento, per trarne ispirazione, dagli esempi di chi, come Brovedani, con grandi sacrifici e parecchia tenacia, non ha mai perso la speranza, anzi: l’ha usata come chiave per costruirsi una vita nuova, per darsi un’altra possibilità e non rimanere inscatolato in un’esistenza di routine e insoddisfazione.

This beautiful castle is filled with historical enchanting artifacts, as well as the beautiful setting on a bluff on the Adriatic Sea. Stroll the gardens and stay for the summer evening light show that tells the story of Maximillian and Carlota of Mexico, Napoleons involvement and Frank Joseph of Austria. Sit by the waters edge and dip your foot in the Adriatic Sea, near the Sphinx built to welcome Maximillian home.

Like the Miramare Castle, the Piazza Unita, and the San Giusto Cathedral, the Museo Revoltella should be a part of any visit to Trieste. This elegant home of one of Trieste’s most prominent citizens from the 19th century, Baron Revoltella (who contributed to the building of the Suez Canal) contains a collection of beautiful artwork and furniture which is a feast for the eyes. Be prepared to spend several hours looking around, you won’t be disappointed.

Reviewed By SurfingSimon - Sacramento, United States
A former Nazi prison camp, the only one left in Italy, built in an old rice factory. While off the beaten path (we traveled by bus), this was well worth the visit. The place is somber and evocative and moving. The footprint of the former crematorium is laid out in metal slabs. Tiny cells for prisoners stand in quiet testimony to the horrors of the camp. Everyone should make a visit here.
