Aurisina

Aurisina lies along the Karst coast above the Gulf of Trieste, where a limestone plateau falls sharply toward the northern Adriatic. Known in Slovene as Nabrežina, the settlement stands in a bilingual borderland shaped by Italian and Slovene traditions. Pale Aurisina stone has been quarried here since Roman times and used in architecture well beyond the village, linking the area to the region’s building heritage. The surrounding Trieste Karst is defined by dry-stone walls, scrubland and limestone caves, while the coast continues toward Duino and Sistiana.
