Day 3 (Part 2) - Monday, June 25 - Triestre

It was hot. We went to a castle and a church and I can't even remember people because it's really really hot here right now and I am melting all over my keyboard. Have some pics instead.



A monument dedicated to soldiers in a plaza lined with monuments to dead soldiers, policemen and other such folk.


































Ancient Roman theatre.




Statue of two sowing girls at the porst because...yes.










Yes, that is a bear on his head.


Piazza Unità d'Italia


























Why yes I love taking pictures of lion sculptures. Often because they're horredous, but sometimes they are more realistic.


Castello di San Giusto




For gunpowder.


Who needs aim when you've got this?




Details on a door.


The basement where they kept funereal monuments and mosaics. It was deliciously cool. Also flooded.






An omphalos of a snake hugging the world, which in other cultures could be called Jörmungandr.












Cattedrale di San Giusto




St. Justus of Triestre, with the stone that drowned him.
