More on Trieste

The earliest human habitation in the area was before Roman times, when an Illyrian settlement was established there. Under the Romans, there was a colony called Tergeste around 177 BC. It was a flourishing center during the early Christian era, and after that, it became a Byzantine military outpost.

Trieste was part of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 to 1918. It was the fourth largest city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire behind Vienna, Budapest and Prague. Its integration into Italy following the First World War led to its cultural and commercial decline. For much of the Cold War period, it was a peripheral city at the very edge of Western Europe.

 Today Trieste has revived itself, becoming the center of one of the richest regions of Italy, with a flourishing industry based on shipping, shipbuilding and finance.
