Around Trieste
(Back to
Trieste main information page)
Along the
coast is well worth a visit to Muggia, a pretty little
town with a beautiful harbor, on the Slovenian border. And the
Risiera di San Sabba, once a rice-hulling plant, which
hosted the only Nazi concentration camp to have been built in
Italy, now a museum which exhibited photos of the atrocities of
the world war II.
The villages of Duino Aurisina and Sistiana are
linked by the ?Sentiero Rilke?, a seaside path which runs
for two km.
The
Villaggio del Pescatore is instead a small nice fishing
village where crocodile and dinosaur remains were discovered
several years ago.
The best
worth visit is however in the Carso Valley, which offers
one of the most beautiful and unique landscape of Europe,
characterised
by white, limestone rock.
The flora
here is exceptionally rich, thanks to waters filtered
underground into large deep cavities known as foibe. The
territory is full of woods, clearings, moors and canyons as well
as eroded rock faces.
Here in an
ancient rural mansion, the Casa Carsica, traditional
wedding of the Slovenian community are celebrated annually.
A visit to the Foiba di Basovizza, need also not to be
forgotten, in remembrance of the thousands of Italians
incarcerated in this underground cavities during WWII.
