Castello di San Giusto Trieste
Next up was Trieste's landmark, the Castello di San Giusto.
The interior design is not particularly spectacular, but quite nice.
You have a good view from the roof.
Finally, the Lapidarium of Trieste.

Jazzin Trieste
To round off the visit, enjoy a gelato at Jazzin. The gelateria has been awarded 2 coni by Gambero Rosso.
I really liked the gelato. Creamy and delicious.

Tivoli Portopiccolo
In the evening, we went back for dinner. This time, we were the only guests, and the atmosphere reflected that.
This time there was bread, but some of it was relatively dry.
Natural Bluefin Tuna Tartare
The cooked version didn't look too impressive, but it tasted good.
Orecchiette Pasta with Seafood Ragout
Peeling the prawns was a bit messy, but it tasted good.
Torrone Parfait
Strawberry tiramisu

We went to Aquilila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. First, we got an overview of Piazza Capitolo with the Basilica, the Baptistery and the Campanile.

Basilica Aquileia
The showpiece is undoubtedly the basilica itself, where the famous mosaic floor was uncovered in 1909 under Bishop Poppo (if you can call your child that). Nowadays, the church is hardly usable, but it does have a magnificent floor.
