Back in the 19th century, it was one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities where Italian style met Austrian elegance, Slavic soul, and Jewish heritage. You can still feel that cultural blend in its architecture, coffee culture, and sea facing piazzas. Trieste isn’t just beautiful it’s layered with history. #trieste #visititaly #europe | Porthole Cruise and Travel | Facebook
