trieste (IT, EN), triest (DE), tergeste (latin), trst (SLO, CRO) ist the old historic city at our way between south tirol and istria (croatia) and was for almost 1.000 years part of german & austrian empires (e.g. from 1382 - 1918 part of the austrian-hungarian habsburg monarchy). after the WW II it was also 9 years part of yugoslavia. today it is a pure italian city, if you asked me 😏. similarly is istria today also almost pure croatian with some italian influence and huge italian history + significant mostly roman & venetian monuments (e.g. the colosseum in pula).
comparing to croatia and even to germany seem the italian be more anxious about corona and thus you see much more people wearing face masks as otherwhere.

castle miramare / schloss miramar / castello miramare (= sea view) was build between 1856 and 1860 for the brother of the austrian emperor franz joseph I, the austrian navy headman maximilian von habsburg. ~ source of the picture is wikipedia commons (author Tiesse) as my own picture was taken from too far away and is by far not that nice as Tiesse's 😄
