Piazza Unita d’Italia in Trieste is a big city’s “sitting room”. When I visited the city it was the place from where I started explore the city. Here there is a lot of parking place. Even in the working days be sure that you easily find the space for your car.
Piazza Unita d’Italia is treated as the biggest square in Europe, which is located near the sea. It’s located over the place where once was the ancient harbor of Trieste (which has been filled with sand in the 19 century) plus Piazza occupies the place where previously was the Piazza San Pietro and Piazza Grande.
Its current name Piazza got after 1918 when the Trieste as free town has been joint to the Italy.
At the beginning of 21 century Piazza Unita d’Italy has been completely renovated. I personally has been impressed by lamp posts which adorn Piazza. As I understood the devoted to Italian heroes which were fallen on the fields of the World War First .
Another noticeable monument of Piazza is a building of Austrian Lieutenancy which is now the seat of city’s Prefecture. Once this building has been adorned by frescoes with Austrian coat of arms but after the Trieste become the part of Italy they were substituted to the frescoes which depict the coat of arms of Savoy dynasty. The towers of the Town Hall adorned by the two statues Mikeza and Jakeze. Frankly speaking I don’t know what their names mean. Another palaces of Piazza are: Palazzo Vanoli, Palazzo Piettere and the Palace of the Austrian Lloyd company.
