Trieste to see...
Trieste is set between sea and hills and
looms on the horizon white and bright over the blue of sea
and sky. It seems like a final Mediterranean daydream to
everyone who goes by this northern stretch of Adriatic
coast.
Streets follow one another and their exquisite palaces of
great architectonic value recall the extraordinary
development that the city enjoyed during the nineteenth
century.
