Case Coisce Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The name Case Coisce indicates the complex of an ancient farm consisting of several buildings formerly owned by the Duino lords. Reachable by a road closed to private traffic (which connects the towns of Ceroglie and Medeazza), it was originally built for other purposes and then transformed into a military facility.

Timavo springs and the Church of San Giovanni in Tuba

Highlight • River

The Timavo river re-emerges from the subsoil after a long karst path right near the beautiful church of San Giovanni in tuba. The place is very impressive, easy to reach and worth a visit.

Timavo River Springs

Highlight • River

We are in one of the most particular and mystical places in the lower Friuli area. Here the course of the Timavo river reappears after having sunk near Škocjan in Slovenia for a 39km long underground route.
The area of the springs, located in the municipality of Duino-Aurisina, has been an important place of worship since ancient times. The presence of a river that flowed from the earth had intrigued and frightened primitive populations. Diomedes, Hercules, Saturn, the Spes Augusta, Liber Augustus and the god Temavus were venerated.
Virgil was so impressed by it that he mentioned it three times: Eclogue VIII, 6, Georgics, book III, 475 and Aeneid, book I, 244.
The Via Flavia passed through here and in the area of the mouth of the Timavo the amber road reached the Adriatic Sea, along which the precious fossil resin was imported from the Baltic since pre-Roman times.
In the 4th century, with the advent of Christianity, the first chapel was built, which, with subsequent modifications, became the basilica of San Giovanni in Tuba

Beautiful castle that hosted the poet Rilke. Very well preserved interior. Many historical documents of the Thurn und Taxis family who own the castle. Wonderful gardens. Worth a visit.

View of Duino Castle and the cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful viewing platforms emerged from the former military positions. The stone staircase leads to a kind of "balcony" with a view of the sea.

View of Sistiana Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

The bay of Sistiana is set between the high rocky walls of the former quarry, very popular with mountaineers, and the cliffs of the Duino Natural Park, covered by lush vegetation, typical of the Mediterranean scrub. The beach is made up of light-colored pebbles and gravel, lapped by clear blue waters, with shallow waters, which slope gently towards the open sea.
