Since May 2023, a monumental memorial in the form of an oversized Maria Theresa thaler has adorned Piazza Ponterosso in Trieste – a silent yet powerful symbol of the city's historical connection to the Habsburg Monarchy and Empress Maria Theresa.
🏛️ Background & Significance
Maria Theresa (1717–1780) never visited Trieste in person, but her influence on the city was enormous.
