Trieste - Cattedrale di San Giusto

 
At the end of Via Cattedrale in Trieste stands the cathedral of San Giusto, on the site of an Augustan temple. It was formed in the 14th century by the joining up of two churches (sixth-11th centuries) and a baptistery: to the right San Giusto and to the left Santa Maria, their lateral aisles combined to make the central aisle or nave of the cathedral.

To the left of the cathedral is a column of 1560. Beyond it are the remains of a Roman forum (second century), the so-called Tempio Capitolino (first century) and an Italian war memorial of 1934.
