The building is located in the “Borgo Teresiano”, one of the most ancient and lively districts of Trieste. You’ll be in the heart of the city, so all the significant places of interest will be within walking distance. Borgo Teresiano is one of the oldest districts of Trieste. Wanted by Maria Teresa, first empress of Austria, around the mid 18th century. The new upmarket district, obtained by the undergrounding of the saltern pond, represents the new heart of the city’s commerce and one of the first examples of modern urban planning thanks to its orthogonal streets. Borgo Teresiano gives tribute to the one who founded it, still carrying her name. The new district grew around the Canal Grande the seaway perpendicular to the waterfront, meant to receive the goods directly in the city after its expansion. In fact, under the Habsburg Empire, the city of Trieste became an important port and commercial hub not only for Austrians. Thanks to Carlo VI who proclaimed the city “free port” in the 1719, a big number of traders reached the city (especially from Greece and Serbia), leading to the need of an expansion beyond the historical walls in which the city was still being contained
