The front part of the canal is lined with beautiful palaces, such as the palazzo Gopcevich, built by a Serbian merchant, or the palazzo by Demetrio Carciotti, who came from Corfu. Countless commercial and residential buildings of old families that continuously expanded the wealth of Trieste.

The Grand Canal is the heart of the Borgo Teresiano. It leads from the shore road into the city at right angles and fits into the street-like streetscape of the neighborhood. The canal was built to allow merchant ships to enter the middle of the city and load and unload goods. Today, the waterway no longer appears in its original length and no longer fulfills its initial function: part of the canal was filled in for traffic. The swivel bridges have been replaced by fixed ones, so that today no sailing ships or large merchant ships, but only small fishing boats can navigate the canal.

Along the canal are the churches of Sant'Antonio Nuovo and SS. Trinità e San Spiridione, as well as the former private houses of merchants mainly from Greece and Serbia, such as Palazzo Carciotti, Palazzo Gopcevich and Palazzo Scaramangà.

If you want to enjoy a coffee here on the banks of the canal, you pay a lot more!
Better go to a nice café in one of the side streets!
