Discovering San Giusto – Trieste – Italy
The virtual experience that will take you on a magnificent journey through time on the hill of San Giusto in Trieste, in northeastern Italy.
You will discover how this place has evolved over the centuries, from the first settlements of the ancient Romans in the 2nd century BC when it was baptized with the name of Tergeste, up to the present day, crossing the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the modern era.
The Hystory
The Romans founded Tergeste due to its strategic position on the Adriatic coast and for its proximity to the very important city of Aquileia.
Tergeste was located in a crossing point of passage between the Italian peninsula and the Danubian provinces of the Roman Empire.
It was also an important commercial port for sea trade with the East.
The Time Machine
During the guided tour, you will see how pagan Roman architectural constructions were adapted in the early Christian period to build the first Christian churches, and then, thanks to countless modifications, have reached their current condition.
The millennium-old insights of scholars, enthusiasts, and archaeologists who have attempted to interpret the site’s evolution over the centuries will converge in a futuristic visual synthesis.
