    The obelisk that stands at the top of the Strada Nuova per Opicina (the so-called Napoleonic) was erected to celebrate the construction of this road. Designed by Biagio Valle, it was commissioned in 1834 and should have been delivered on 22 October 1838, the date on which the visit to Trieste of the emperor Ferdinand I was scheduled. then the breaking of the cart that transported it from the Zagorsko quarry of Monrupino, then problems with the winch used to erect it. Even the planned visit of the Emperor to Trieste did not take place, so much so that the obelisk was only completed on March 30, 1839.
