The wooden belfry is very beautiful. The yard was closed so we could only admire it from the outside.

Beautiful church of the XIII. century, with original fresco fragments of stunning beauty, some of the frescoes of the 14th century. century, which would compete with any of the contemporary frescoes in the world, and the temple garden is home to one of the country's most beautiful full-bell tower.

Duino Castle

Duino Castle was built by the Wallsee family in 1389 on the cliffs overlooking the Gulf of Trieste. It replaced an older castle from the 11th century. Over time, the Wallsee family disappeared and the castle, after having been used as a prison, became the residence of the Luogar and Hofer.

At the end of the 19th century it became the property of Prince Alexander von Thurn und Taxis from the Czech branch of the House of Thurn and Taxis. It remains with the family to this day with his great-grandson Prince Carlo Alessandro della Torre e Tasso, Duke of Castel Duino the current owner. The castle has been opened to the public as a museum and park.
