The final stage of the Walk of Peace is in Trieste, a border city with a centuries-old history. Known as Tergeste in Roman times, the city experienced a period of great expansion under Charles VI and Maria Theresa of Austria, when it was declared a Free Port. This fact transformed and elevated the role of Trieste from an economic and commercial standpoint. Despite the battles on the front of the Karst, the Italian troops did not reach the city until the end of the conflict, on November 3 1918. Nevertheless, along the bay and in the hinterland, there are places, monuments and museums that still preserve and share the memory of the Great War.
Author’s recommendation
The "Diego de Henriquez" War Museum for Peace, dedicated to the two World Wars, is certainly worth a visit. It is located in the city centre, in Via Cumano.
In front of Piazza unità, the Audace Pier, worth a visit. This one, was the pier where the destroyer of the same name docked on November 3, 1918, sanctioning the annexation of the city to Italian territory.
