Piazza Unity of Italy is the main square, home of the Town Hall, universally recognized as one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, as well as the largest square open to the sea in Europe. Its setting of historic buildings and buildings and the view of the gulf give it an incomparable atmosphere.

The Palace of the Austrian Lieutenancy
It is currently home to the prefecture. The most striking thing are the beautiful mosaics on the main facade of the palace, which before the 1920s represented the Austro-Hungarian imperial coat of arms, and were then replaced with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy.
the Palace of the Stratti
If you walk “sta in eu” you will notice the presence of some statues on top of the building. The sculptural complex, by Pietro Zandomeneghi, represents the hope of prosperity and progress for the city of Trieste. At the foot of the building is the historic “coffee of mirrors” where you can stop and admire the square in all its beauty.
Lloyd Triestino Palace
Today it is the seat of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, where the Presidency of the Regional Council meets. On the top of the building there are statues, allegorical representations on the splendor, works of Austrian sculptors Joseph Pokorny and Hugo Hurdtl.
City Hall of Trieste
The excellent work of the architect Giuseppe Bruni, is the building that imposes itself on the square in a front position with respect to the sea. It is dominated by the bell tower, on which the architect installed two Moors, named by the Triestines Micheze and Jacheze, who since 1875 mark the time in the city of Trieste. Replaced by copies to preserve them, the originals are now on display in the Castle of S. That’s right.
Fountain of the Four Continents
In this work appears a film a cheated figure at the top, who alludes to the announcement of Trieste’s fame to the whole world and its prosperity in commerce. The four statues on the sides depict the continents known until then: Europe, America, Africa and Asia.
