Piazza Unità d'Italia is the main square of the seaport of Trieste in north-eastern Italy, at the foot of the hill topped by the castle of San Giusto and facing straight onto the Adriatic, less than a kilometre from the city centre in a straight line. It is often called the largest square in Europe on the sea. It was built when Trieste was the most important port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and before 1919 it was known as the Great Square. The local Slovenes still call it the Great Square in their own language. Grand 19th-century palaces frame three sides of the vast square, among them the town hall with its tower, the Government Palace and the Lloyd Triestino palace, while the fourth side opens onto the sea and the quay, with ornate iron lamps whose lights shimmer on the water at night. It is a place to stroll at any hour, and the long Molo Audace pier runs out from it into the sea. Historic cafés line its edges, and sunset over the gulf is the finest time.
