Unity of Italy Square

The Unirii Square is the main square of Trieste and the largest seaside square in Europe. Surrounded by tall white buildings on three sides and facing the bay on the other side, it was once the main outlet for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a once prosperous port city and a music and literature center, which gradually declined as it was merged into Italy. There are important buildings such as the City Hall around the square, and many local people gather here, which is very lively.Trieste · 18.2 km from Koper

Piazza del Duomo

Piazza del Duomo is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence, which was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1982. The square has been the city's religious center since the Middle Ages. In the late 13th century, surrounding residential buildings were demolished to build the new cathedral and bell tower, and it was gradually expanded over the following centuries to its current size. The square brings together three iconic buildings: theCathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto's Bell Tower, and The Baptistery of San Giovanni. Together, they form the "Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore complex," showcasing the evolution of architectural art in Florence from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The dome designed by Brunelleschi stands over 90 m high and is a striking visual focal point on the square's skyline. Historic buildings such as the Archbishop's Palace, the Cathedral Museum, and the Bigallo Museum are also located around the square. Standing in the center of the square and looking around, the facades of buildings from different eras and styles complement each other, making it a key location for experiencing the urban landscape of Florence.Italy · Florence

Victory Lighthouse

Victory Lighthouse

4.2
This monument was built immediately after the end of World War I, thanks to the unwavering commitment of architect Arduino Berlam. The old lantern no longer served the port's needs, and a new lighthouse was needed to commemorate this historic moment. In fact, in addition to its role as a navigational safety feature, the Lighthouse of Victory served a dual purpose: to celebrate the transition of Trieste to the Kingdom of Italy and to commemorate those who died at sea during World War I. The lighthouse stands within the complex of Fort Cresic, one of the city's important Austro-Hungarian positions, dating back to the mid-19th century. Every element was designed to have a strong symbolic value. Now a major national monument, the lighthouse offers visitors the opportunity to observe the city from a panoramic perspective.Trieste · 21.2 km from Koper

The queue was quite long, and you need to make sure you're in the correct line before you start queuing… Queues at tourist attractions in Europe often consist of several separate lines with unclear signage. I didn't choose to climb the bell tower or the dome, but the museum included in the ticket is worth a good look; personally, I felt the environment was quite nice.

such a lovely place, the duomo or cathedral is very big that I cannot take a picture of the whole cathedral. Even if I have seen it several times I always love to visit and see it again and again.

The Skovčijan Cave in Ljubljana is also a large natural cave where many mysterious animals live. One of them, the scorpionfish, is the star here. It looks very much like the dragon in Chinese legend. It is definitely a rare species in the world and is worth exploring.
