Castello di San Giusto

Castle Trieste, Italy

The castle of San Giusto is a fortress-museum located on the hill of the same name, in Trieste. As a historic residence, it was restored in the 2000s and used as a civic museum of the Trieste municipality, to which the structure has belonged since 1930. On the Lalio Bastion, the Tergestino Lapidarium was inaugurated on 4 April 2001, consisting of inscriptions, sculptures, bas-reliefs and architectural fragments from the Roman era. It can only be visited in part: in particular, in addition to the lapidary, the Chapel, the Sala Caprin, the large internal courtyard - venue for events in the summer period - and the terraces, from which you can enjoy a broad panorama of the city below, are accessible.
