Castello di San Giusto

Impressive medieval-Renaissance castle perched above the city with sweeping views over Trieste, its gulf and surrounding hills. The museum inside offers fascinating exhibits including period armoury, Roman inscriptions and art, plus atmospheric rooms like the Sala Caprin and a Gothic chapel. Great stop for history lovers and photographers alike. A must-see landmark when exploring Trieste.

Next to the Roman Forum this castle was built by the Austrian Imperial court between 1468 and 1636. From the ramparts you have panoramic views over the city and surrounding areas. For me the best part was the Armoury museum with a nice collection and good information.

High vantage point overseeing the city of Trieste. There are interesting exhibits featuring the armoury and the history of the city but the highlight is the view over the city itself. Worth the admission fee of 7 euros just for the views alone

The castle itself is not very impressive but it's worth 5 stars anyways: 1. There are interesting exhibitions about the history of Trieste and the castle. There are free audio tours with different focus points. One is especially for children. I would advise to bring headphones. The audio tour is available in multiple languages. 2. You have a great view over the city. You get a good deal for reasonable price (7€/adult).

If you really want to benefit from the visit, set some time aside. There is a museum with a lot of information about the history of the castle and the armaments throughout the centuries of the fortress. The views from the walls are impressive.

Highly recommend this location. In addition to the castle/fortress, there are three cavernous floors with Roman ruins, an armour collection and amazing views from the top. The climb up to the castle was a bit challenging not because of the steep hill but to figure out the route. All in all, highly recommend

I was very surprised about the museum and exhibition. All fortress is really beautiful and I would recommend to go there. Then on the top of fortress take a coffe or wine and enjoy the view

Nice castle to explore with great views of the city. We visited in October and it was only €2 per person to enter, but even in peak time I think it’s only €1 more. Not massive but worth it if you’ve climbed the stairs to get there! There’s also a bar inside, we didn’t go but looked nice.

Spent most of a rainy day here. Steeped in history. Great view of the Gulf of Trieste and surrounding area. We purchased tickets for a photography exhibit here. The works of Robert Capa were on display. We were mesmerized by his photos taken in Italy during WW II. There are also several interactive things to do. We decided to have lunch here since it was pouring and were compelled to return to the photo exhibit. Alinarimage has computer set up at the exhibit so you can scroll through thousands of photos of Italy. If you see something you like, you can have it emailed to you at no cost.
