The area of sea surrounding the castle is populated by every species of sea organism existing in this part of the Adriatic sea. Therefor the Miramare Sea Park was created in 1973.
Miramare castle and its beautiful park, is really a "must see" if you visit Trieste.

The interior of the castle contains numerous works of art, and clearly reflects the taste and the habits of the Vienna Court. A great care has been taken on improving the castle.

On the photo, there is a part of the library with wooden ceilininng and the beautiful chandelier.

The Miramare castle is not too luxurious, but its location is increadible. From every corner of the castle there is a view onto the sea. The castle is suirrounded by a beautiful Park and at the time I visited Miramare it was blossoming with spring flowers.

Miramare castle is the famous residence of Maximilian of Habsburg and his consort, Charlotte of Belgium. The castle was built between 1856 and 1860 by Cari Junker. It is faced with bright Istria stone.

Many pitoresque corners can be seen around the castle, such as the pond of the swans and that of the lotus floewrs. However, the most beautiful part, at least to me, is the seashore which surrounding the castle.

Do not miss to check the fountain, situated in a beautiful park which leads to the small port bellow the castle. The castle was built in the most beautiful part of Riviera di Barcola and has its own beach.

Castello Miramare

Here the visit of the Mexican delegation marked the starting point of that process which was to lead both of them to a tragical ending, which drew a veil of romantic melancholy over the castle.

Here in the Castle the prince and princess, still hesitant facing the choice between a retired life and their court duties but already prepared to take on the honour and burden of the Mexican crown, lived a short happy period.
