Trieste popular tourist attractions and typical food.

Trieste is one of the biggest cities of Friuli Venezia Giulia and sits on the coast between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenia. Due to its proximity to other nations and regions, Trieste has been influenced through the years by various other cultures and civilizations and is one of the richest economical places in Italy due to its extensive port and commercial shipping trade.

Trieste has been inhabited since the second millennium BC and was part of the Roman Republic. Once the Roman Empire had declined, Trieste became a free commune and then was subsequently part of the Habsburg Empire and resisted many sieges and attacks by the Ottomans throughout the Middle Ages. Today, Trieste has a pleasing mix of historical buildings and Piazzas, stunning seaside locations and interesting Museums that make it a premier tourist destination in this region of Italy. Enjoy its beauty and its characteristic food (green pins), where you can taste the true essence of Friulan cuisine. You really have to come and see with your eyes, so turn your GPS on, and enjoy.
