San Giusto Virtual Experience – Discover Trieste’s Rich History
Embark on a San Giusto virtual experience that transports you through centuries of history on the iconic hill in Trieste, northeastern Italy.
Witness the transformation of this remarkable site, starting from its origins as Tergeste, an ancient Roman settlement established in the 2nd century BC, to its evolution through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the modern era.
Explore the stories, architecture, and cultural heritage that make San Giusto a timeless treasure in Italian history.
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.
