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.
