This museum was donated to the city in 1869 by Baron Pasquale Revoltella, a great patron of the arts who liked to surround himself with precious and avant-garde works. In a building restored and extended by architect Carlo Scarpa, the museum today houses one of Italy’s finest collections of 19th-century, modern and contemporary art..
A small museum dedicated to Bora and wind in Trieste.
Old Town
Trieste boasts an extensive old town: there are many very narrow and crooked streets with typical medieval houses. Nearly the entire area is closed to traffic.
An Augustan gate built in the Roman walls in 33 AD, in the narrow streets of the old town.
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.
Contains Roman and Medieval relics, and a cenotaph to the archaeologist Johann Winckelmann, father of neoclassicism, who died in Trieste in 1769.
