An impressive work of the Triestine architect Arduino Berlam (1880-1946) and of the sculptor Giovanni Mayer (1863-1943), has two important functions. Besides lighting the gulf of Trieste, in order to help navigation, it also serves as a commemorative monument dedicated to the fallen of World War I. The lighthouse is topped by an embossed copper statue of Victory sculpted by Giovanni Mayer. Under this statue is affixed the anchor of the torpedo-boat Audace (the first Italian ship that entered the port of Trieste on November 3, 1918).
Vittoria Light also known as the Victory Lighthouse, is an active lighthouse in Trieste, Italy, serving the Gulf of Trieste. It is located on the Hill of Gretta, off the Strada del Friuli. At a height of 223 feet (68 m) it is one of the tallest lighthouses in the world.

Trieste's beautiful grand canal. Step onto the bridge to pose with a bronze statue of James Joyce, one of Trieste's many iconic statues that walk the streets instead of standing on pedestals.
Half of the city was built under Austrian-Hungarian dominion, so there are a lot of palaces that resemble Vienna. An iconic place of this quarter is the majestic Piazza Unità (Unity Square), which is Europe's largest sea-front square. The most present architecture styles are Neoclassical, Art Nouveau, Eclectic, and Baroque.

Church of Sant’Antonio Taumaturgo in Trieste is a grand Neoclassical church dominating the end of the city’s Grand Canal. Built between 1825 and 1849 to a design by the architect Pietro Nobile, it is the largest Catholic church in Trieste and reflects the city’s 19th-century growth and prosperity.
