The Arts Society Greenwich are arranging a trip to Trieste

Tuesday 29 September - Saturday 03 October 2026   Visit to Trieste 

Located within the north-eastern borders of Italy, is the undiscovered region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Bound by Austria, Slovenia, the Veneto, and the Adriatic, its long-standing domination by Austria has resulted in a remarkable fusion of architectural styles and culture to savour and explore. Nowhere is the legacy of the Habsburg Empire more apparent than in Trieste and its environs. Under the Austrians, its great Adriatic Port and adjoining coastline rose in importance, and the city became a progressive and prosperous international melting pot until the 20th century when it was riven by borders, and often contested. The city was returned to Italy in 1954, but its history has gifted us an eclectic blend of ethnic, linguistic, and cultural varieties. Based in the border city of Trieste, our tour will highlight the charming cities and Roman settlements of this lesser-known region of Italy.
