Trieste City Hall (Italian: Palazzo del Municipio di Trieste, Slovene: Tržaška mestna hiša) is the seat of the city and commune of Trieste in Italy.
History[edit]
The building, designed by architect Giuseppe Bruni, was erected between 1873 and 1875, when Trieste was part of Austria-Hungary. Bruni's project had been chosen because it had the adavantage to stay within the planned budget and to easily fit the old building previously located there.[1] Construction works were supervisioned by Eugenio Geiringer.
In 1938, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini announced the promulgation of the Italian racial laws from a stage located right in front of the building.[2]
Description[edit]
The building is located on the large Piazza Unità d'Italia with its main façade facing the sea. It features an eclectic style.[2]
