Triest/Trieste
The Castello di San Giusto is situated on the hill of the same name, the ancient centre of Trieste and is a medieval castle and fortress built in 1471.
Cividale del Friuli
According to legends, it is a devil's bridge. According to the legend, the citizens of Cividale consulted with each other on how to build a solid bridge over the Natisone river. Since they could not agree, they conjured up the devil. Lucifer offered his help, but demanded the soul of the first person to cross the bridge. The inhabitants agreed, but only sent a dog across the bridge, beating the devil with it.
Collio
The Collio, a corner of the extreme north-east of Italy, crossroads of peoples, cultures and events. History and borders that move and dissolve - this is the stage. The main protagonists are the vine and the wine.
Trieste
Admire the botanical variety in the park surrounding the Castle or enjoy the view over the Gulf of Trieste!
Gorizia
The water of the river shimmers emerald green to turquoise. It owes this colour to the limestone and the resulting reflection of the sun.
