We knew nothing about this place and only stopped here because of the nearby campsite review. What a place this is and what history! Buy an all-inclusive ticket which gives you access to the basilica, tower and crypt. The basilca is more of a monument than a working church as only the top end is used for services. The rest has an amazing mosaic, the largest I have ver seen, with elevated platforms to walk along and view it all. It is just superb. There is also a sad WW1 graveyard behind the church with the most beautiful and poignant statue in it - very few people visited it when I was there but it was lovely. This is a must-see place - why had we never heard of it before?

This cathedral is in reality two churches, which in the 14th century were joined together. The two original basilicas were erected between the 9 and 11th centuries. The first one was dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption and the second one to S. Justus (S. Giusto, an early Christian Martyr). The Roman pillars in both churches are beautiful. the 14th central a new central nave was built to join the two churches and a new façade was added with a fine-looking Gothic rose window. In the bell tower you can see some of the Roman remains of the site on which the original church was built. When walking outside to the edge of the piazza you have a wonderful view over Trieste and the bay.

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.

This is a real hidden gem. A place that deserves a visit. It is the last villa that the last Venetian Doge built. Environmental sorroundings are green and simple, making you feel the beauty of simplicity. Culture and Nature meet there in Villa Manin.

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.
