Just a 20-minute walk from Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, this cathedral is a symbol of Trieste. It was built in 1300, when two, pre-existing basilicas were merged, forming the vast, central nave. There is a beautiful sandstone façade and a bell tower that was built in 1337. There are Byzantine mosaics in the enchanting interiors and a 13th-century chapel enclosed in a rich Baroque railing. The right nave is the chapel dedicated to St Justus, and the Bourbons of Spain are buried in the crypt. Admission: Free.
