Trieste outskirts

- Temple of Monte Grisa, Karst Plataeu, Faro della Vittoria

The coastline Northwest of Triest, along the Gulf of Trieste, is very beautiful. Our bus, heading for Venice, drove on a higher level with views to the sea. The beautiful Royal Austrian 19th century castle Miramare is situated along the coast in the West part of Trieste. When the bus were driving along the inland autostrada (highway) A4 the landscape suddenly became very dull, with flat fields and a few sleepy villages and towns along the way, all the way to Venice. Temple of Monte Grisa (National Shrine of Mary Mother and Queen) is a Roman-Catholic church in modern style, built in 1965 on  the edge of the Karst Plateau, 300m above the sea, just North of Trieste. Faro della Vittoria is a 68m high lighthouse, one of the world’s tallest, that looks like a Roman column above the sea, also in the North part of the city, in the Barcola area, where many of the city’s beaches are situated. Trieste has an airport, Aeroporto di Trieste, that lies in Monfalcone Northwest of the city.
