Trieste

Trieste is a port at the top of the Istria peninsula. It's been transferred from country to country over the years. 

This is the James Joyce bronze. He lived here for 10 years off and on and wrote a lot of his early stuff here. 

This city has the largest piazza on the water. It's huge. 

Also very close went to see the Lipica horses at their farm. These are the royal horses from 1600.
