The old town is cross crossed by tiny streets

Brave the rain. Time to buy a new raincoat

Gardens wherever you can find the space.

These 8 footers previously banged a bell on a clock

The crests of the 13 families that ran Trieste.

Commemorating WWI. The city has a knack for the epic.

Muggia, Italy

October 3, 2024 in Italy ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

Interesting mix of working harbour, seaside recreation and historical village. It sits across the Bay from Trieste, with its amazing commercial history and significance that is maintained today as the most important hub for this part of Europe.
We have a second floor apartment with a view of a huge marina that is being thrashed by strong winds and rain.
Locals and other visitors assure us it will be beautiful tomorrow.
We explored parts of the town despite the rain, and feast on a magnificent steak dinner (Ian - not Regina)

It’s next day and Muggia is 4 times more beautiful when the sun shines.
Trieste is gorgeous as well. Roman ruins, Baroque churches, meandering and narrow lanes - all begging to be explored, wide piazzas, imposing statuary and big splashes of grandiose architecture.Read more
