Palazzo del Lloyd Triestino

Building currently the seat of the Regional Council, was inaugurated in 1883, designed by architect Heinrich von Ferstel in Renaissance style. At that time, the company was called Austrian Lloyd. In front of the structure there were two fountains, one 'depicting' Theti, the other Venus, protectors of fresh and salt water respectively. This would also logically link to the fact that Lloyd would be a shipping company.
