The Borgo Teresiano
Trieste's "new" town, the Borgo Teresiano, is imposingly laid out in a Neoclassical style imported from nineteenth-century Vienna, with wide boulevards and a truly vast piazza on the waterfront. The focus of the main grid of streets is the picturesque Piazza Sant'Antonio Nuovo, with its small yacht basin overlooked by cafés and dominated by two churches: the Neoclassical hulk of San Antonio Thaumaturgo and the smaller, more appealing Serbian Orthodox San Spiridione.
