Alabarda Hotel Trieste travel guide

Located in the old town, between the city centre and the port area, this hotel provides an ideal base to explore this historically rich and culturally diverse city.Set against the stunning backdrop of the cliffs of the Carso plain, the narrow, winding streets of the city below are full of pavement cafes, sea food restaurants and art museums.Around the corner from the hotel is the Old Stock Exchange Building, an impressive example of Neo-Classic architecture, with Doric style columns and adorned with statues of Greek gods. Also worth seeing is the cathedral of San Giusto, built on the site of an Augustan temple and still retaining Roman fragments. Within, are fine mosaics from the 7th and 12th centuries.
