Trieste​

The grand old city of Trieste is capital of the north-eastern region of Friuli Venezia Giulia and somewhat detached from the rest of Italy due to its geographical position close to the Slovenian border.

For many years Trieste was under Austrian rule and this is very noticeable in the city's most important architecture, including the beautiful square: Piazza Unità d'Italia. 

​The city's port is one of the most important on the Adriatic and has helped Trieste become one of the main centres of the coffee trade.
