Castle of San Giusto
Castello di San Giusto
A castle dating from the 15th to 17th centuries atop the old town hill, with walls overlooking the city and bay, housing the Civic Museum and an exhibit of historic weapons.
The castle was built in stages by the Venetians and then the Habsburgs. Walkways along the walls offer 360-degree views of the old town, the port, and the Istrian Peninsula in the distance. Inside is the Civic Museum, displaying historic weapons and medieval artifacts, and an underground gallery with Roman stone carvings. Admission is about 6 euros, and it is closed on Mondays. It is about a 15-minute uphill walk from Piazza Unità d'Italia, or you can take bus line 24. Visit together with the neighboring Cathedral of San Giusto.
