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. Leave a Comment

The most precious gem that surrounds Trieste, is Miramare Castle. Enshrined in the coastal rocks, it gives visitors the chance to admire the most enchanting sunsets. Leave a Comment

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. Leave a Comment

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. Leave a Comment

Built from 1856-1860, the castle was destined to be the home of the Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg. As you stroll through the castle, you are transported back to the mid-1800's as all of the original furniture, even including the piano the archduke played, are still in pristine condition. With views out of the windows that are second to none, one wonders why anyone would ever want to leave, which the archduke did to become the Emperor of Mexico.
Tours of the castle are possiblefrom 9 - 19 every day, though the ticket office closes at 18.30.
Entrance is 4 Euro, with discounts for various EU groups, senior citizens and children. Leave a Comment

I think the most best part of the entire trip to Miramare is the gardens surrounding the castle, not the castle itself. Don't get me wrong, the castle is wonderful, but the gardens are truly exquisite. Nice trails winding underneath the shade of the trees and stunning flowers line the entire walk. Don't rush through just to see the castle, take your time outside it! Leave a Comment

This is a great place to see how the other half lives. Actually the castle is pretty and obviously done without much consideration of cost, but the surrounding grounds and gardens with magnificent views of the bay are really what captivated me. It was built in the mid 19th C by Maximilian of Hapsburg fame (Franz Josef's brother) as what someone called a "love nest" for Max and his wife, the comely Princess Charlotte of Belgium. It was here that a delegation from Mexico hatched with Max the plan for him to become Emperor of Mexico.
The grounds as I understand it were laid out and planted by Maximilian who also designed the castle. Thus there is an amazing collection of trees and plantings. There is also a small chapel and a bronze statue of Maximilian. At the end one of the formal gardens is a nice little restaurant with a great view over the garden and the bay.
