Trieste is the capital city of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northeast Italy. A port city, Trieste occupies a thin strip of land between the Adriatic coast and Slovenia’s border on the limestone-dominated Karst Plateau. Italian, Austro-Hungarian and Slovenian influences are all evident in its layout, which encompasses a medieval old city and a neoclassical Austrian quarter.
Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. Trieste is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of Italian territory lying between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city of Trieste . Trieste is also located near Croatia some further 30 kilometres (19 mi) south. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Latin, Slavic, and Germanic cultures.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin de siècle period at the end of the 19th century it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. Trieste underwent an economic revival during the 1930s, and Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs after the Second World War. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.
Trieste lies in the northernmost part of the high Adriatic in northeastern Italy, near the border with Slovenia. The city lies on the Gulf of Trieste. In 2012, Lonely Planet listed the city of Trieste as the world's most underrated travel destination.

#179s - Italy, Trieste area - Basovizza to Villa Opicina (09/2016)
The first movie of the last ride of Season 2016! And surely one of the best! Even if it is just 63 km. Now, I don't exactly start in Basovizza but it's close enough and along the main road towards Trieste. But immediately, I get off that road and along the paths along the edges of the hills surrounding Trieste and offering some spectacular views, along with a spectacular ride!
Luckily, I did manage to find ways across (or better, under) the main roads and I managed to follow the desired path straight into Villa Opcicina (best known for its tram connection with Trieste and then trains to Slovenia). However, a word of caution. Two words, actually. 1) Parts of the path are very rocky, even when it doesn't feel like it and I had a nasty hit resulting with a flat tyre, throwing my carefully planned schedule quite a bit off. 2) A good part of this entire section, to Villa Opcina, is a good climb. Luckily, not all the way, just the last part, but I found it rather challenging. Yes, yes, I find every climb rather challenging, good point, but still - be warned. As for the rest of the ride... Well, you'll see some of it now and then the rest in the following movies.
Filmed in September 2016.

Fulcro della regione storico-geografica della Venezia Giulia, Trieste, fa da ponte oggi come in passato tra Europa continentale e mediterranea.Un grande fascino che scaturisce da una storia antica. In queste terre abitate sin dal II millennio a.C si insediarono Veneti e Romani e l'antica Tergeste consolidò la propria fama sino a divenire uno dei più importanti porti dell'Adriatico come certificato dai resti archeologici rinvenuti sul Colle di San Giusto.
