Trieste - Harbor

On the west side of Trieste lies the harbor, which has no natural anchorage and is exposed to strong northeast winds (the bora) blowing down from the plateau. To the north the Punta Franco Vecchio (Old Free Port) has four piers and a long breakwater. To the south, beyond the Campo Marzio station, are the Punta Franco Nuovo (New Free Port) and the industrial zone, with a number of large shipyards.
