Casa Steiner

The building was designed in 1824 by the Austrian architect Matteo Pertsch very active in Trieste in the early decades of the nineteenth century. The current appearance of the building almost faithfully reflects the original idea of the author; compared to the design signed by Pertsch, the pilasters have been modified, originally smooth, the themes represented in the relief and the sculptural group crowning the façade that has not been performed in the realization. The name of the palace comes from the costume shop of Ignazio Steiner who was in the same place at the beginning of the twentieth century.
