Molo Audace
A stone pier stretching about 200 meters into the sea beside Piazza Unità d'Italia, where locals stroll, watch the sunset, and feel the bora wind.
The pier was originally called Molo San Carlo. In 1918, the Italian destroyer Audace docked here, marking Trieste's incorporation into Italy, and the pier was renamed after it. Along the pier runs a row of mooring bollards, and at its end a bronze compass rose shows the directions of places and winds. In the evening locals stroll here to watch the sunset, making it the city's most classic seaside spot. Free admission; take care when strong winds blow in winter.
