Museo della Comunità Ebraica di Trieste "Carlo e Vera Wagner"

Tergeste, which probably dates back to the prehistoric period, was enclosed by walls built in 33-32 BC on Emperor Octavius’s orders. The city developed greatly during the 1st and 2nd century AD. The Roman Theatre faces the sea. The construction partially exploits the gentle slope of the hill, and most of the construction work is in stone. The topmost portion of the amphitheatre steps and the stage were presumably made of wood. The statues that adorned the theatre (which was brought to light in the 1930s) are now preserved at the Town Museum. Three inscriptions from the Trajan period mention a certain Q. Petronius Modestus, a person who was closely connected with the development of the theatre, which was erected during the second half of the 1st century.

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.

The heart of the ancient city of Tergeste. Although only fragmentary remains of the Roman Forum survive—mainly paving, columns, and foundations—the site marks the civic and religious core of Tergeste.

A walk on the castle ramparts and bastions gives a complete panorama of the city of Trieste, its hills and the sea. It was built between the 15th and 17th centuries by the Habsburgs to control and defend the city. Its thick walls and bastions reflect evolving military architecture, while today it houses a museum and offers sweeping views over Trieste and the Adriatic Sea. Access is also possible via the elevator at the underground carpark of Park San Giusto on Via del Teatro Romano.

Contains Roman and Medieval relics, and a cenotaph to the archaeologist Johann Winckelmann, father of neoclassicism, who died in Trieste in 1769.
