One of the nicest squares I've ever visited. Interesting architecture and good for people-watching, and for sunset and night photography.

Take your time and look around ..., up, down , in the corners, all around. Statues, figures, monuments abound in this large, sea front square.

Piazza d'Unita is the main piazza in Trieste (for those who never been to Italy before - piazza means square), so this is the main square in Trieste.

A large square surrounded by majestic buildings which are particularly spectacular at night. I would say simply one of the most beautiful squares in Europe if not in the world. Awesome!!!
