Civico Museo del Castello di S. Giusto

The castle of San Giusto is one of the symbols of Trieste, and was built on the hill of San Giusto. The castle was built before the middle of 1200. Before the castle, a defensive tower stood on the hill, which in 1309 was rebuilt, by the Venetians, as a fortress called the “Captain's House”. It is called this way since the commander of the occupying army resided there.
