  • Roman ruins and cavernous caves, wartime tales and seaside traditions, classic cafés and museums galore.
  • Italy’s oldest dinosaur, the Theresian Aqueduct, Fascist skyscrapers, and a Brutalist housing complex.

  • Miramare Castle, the Victory Lighthouse, segregated sea bathing, and the world’s biggest regatta.
