    Hiking

    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.


    Together with her father, Emperor Charles VI, She laid the foundations for the Free Port of Trieste, which made the city one of the most important ports in Europe.
