Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste, on a narrow strip of Italian territory
lying between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenia.
Trieste was colonized in the middle of the first century BC by Caesar.
The Romans built a true fortress on the slopes of the San Giusto Hill.
This colony soon became an important military outpost and commercial hub
with the main function of protecting the Roman colonies from the barbarian incursions.
Trieste belonged to the Habsburg monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century the monarchy was one of
the Great Powers of Europe and Trieste was its most important seaport.
As a prosperous trading hub in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empir
e (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague).
In the fin de siècle period it emerged as an important hub for literature and music.
Trieste underwent an economic revival during the 1930s, and the Free Territory
of Trieste became a major site of the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs after the Second World War.
November (1918), at the end of the First World War, Trieste was united with Italy.
The United Nations established it as a Free Territory of Trieste in 1947.
A typical architectural style seen in Trieste's streets is the neoclassical design style. The neoclassical style of architecture is seen in the central and cultural areas of the city.
