The Teatro Romano di Trieste is a fascinating testament to Roman urban planning and culture—and a real highlight for someone like you, Kai, who enjoys combining history with urban movement and architectural depth. 🏛️ Historical Overview Built: End of the 1st century AD, probably under Emperor Trajan Financed by: Quintus Petronius Modestus, a Trieste patrician and Flemish priest of the imperial cult Capacity: Around 6,000 spectators Location then: Directly on the seashore, outside the city walls Location today: In the heart of the city, at the foot of the Colle di San Giusto – due to land reclamation and urban growth 🧱 Architectural Details Cavea: Semicircular spectator stands, divided into four wedge-shaped sectors (cunei) Orchestra: The central stage area in front of the cavea Scaenae frons: The rear wall of the stage – today only fragmentarily preserved Portico: Formed the upper end of the stand, partially reconstructed Statue niches: Once filled with figures of the imperial family and local figures Decorated by dignitaries 🕰️ Rediscovery & political significance Destruction: Probably in 568 by the Lombards Rediscovery: 1938 under Mussolini – an entire district was demolished to expose the Roman ruins Ideology: The excavation was intended to emphasize Trieste's "Roman continuity" and underscore its affiliation with Italy

The Giordano Cottur cycle path is a disused railway line: the climb is moderate. There are many tunnels. And above all, it offers fantastic views of Trieste and the Mediterranean. It's a joy to cycle.

I was there, I went there, I recommend it and I would go there again

They've finally redone the entire road from Cattinara to the Slovenian border. Luckily, it's not asphalt, but a well-worn, fast, and smooth dirt road.

An indescribably beautiful section of the Alpe-Adria Trail... With many tunnels and stunning panoramic views.

Inaugurated in October 2010, it partly runs along the old railway line (Pola-Divaccia) that from 1887 to 1959 connected the Trieste/Campo Marzio station with that of Erpelle. The itinerary starts in the San Giacomo district, slowly climbs up to the Val Rosandra nature reserve and finally arrives in Draga Sant'Elia. The track is dedicated to Giordano Cottur (Trieste, 1914 - 2006), a historic figure in cycling, three times third in the Giro d'Italia behind Coppi and Bartali and winner of a stage in Trieste in 1947. The route from San Giacomo to Altura is paved while the one from Altura to Draga Sant'Elia is dirt. The route has numerous crossings in order to allow more attack possibilities. The track offers the opportunity to admire beautiful views and panoramas, bucolic landscapes, orchards, woods, cliffs and the Carso in all its forms. After passing the city you arrive, with a small detour, to Strada di Fiume at the height of Villa Sartorio (entrance in via Modiano 5) entering we can admire centuries-old trees such as Aleppo pines. Further on, continuing along the ridge next to Monte Stena, you look out over Val Rosandra and bow before its wild beauty: the Cippo Comici, the screes, the limestone slabs, the Church of Santa Maria in Siaris; then the route climbs again, skirting Monte Stena to reach Draga Sant'Elia where, on the asphalt road, there is also a fountain.
