The Old Walls...Trieste

Crawling Plants... SAN GIUSTO Castle & Cathedral Review

Still on the San Giusto Hill...
There should be a castle & a cathedral in this area; Either I walked passed them or I was too tired of looking for them !
I could see the walls though...
I took this photo for my mum. She always love seeing the crawling plants on a wall, taken in Europe. It's rare for us here because if there's crawling plants on our wall, we would spray pesticide on them as to kill the crawling insects/animals in them hence killing the plants as well...

Address: Piazza della Cattedrale 3 - Trieste

Small Roman Arena... The old Roman Theater Review

Classic Buildings... Saint Anthon and the Canal Grande Review

This photo was taken at the end of Canal Grande...This area is also known as Borgo Teresiano.
It is told that this area was planned by Austrian urban plannersin the 18th century for Empress Maria Theresa.
There are many classic buildings around Trieste, maybe from the Habsburg era. I had a pleasant walk while waiting for my friend from Slovenia, Ivan to get me in Trieste...

The Walls...Trieste - Trieste

The Walls...Trieste

The Ruins...

Still at the ruins next to the photo taken above. I could see the walls & they are lining up a street, tall walls so I couldn't see what they were hiding behind them.
I guess what attracted me most on the walls are the lush plants growing on them !

Roman Theater, Trieste...

The Left Side...

This is the left side of The Roman Theater...You can see the ruins of which they are just left like that.
