Trieste, Italy (Castle Miramare)
A spectacular castle built for the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilion of the Haspsburg Empire and his wife Charlotte. Before the castle was completed, Maximilion became the Emperor of Mexico only to be brutally executed. He never saw the completed castle, and Charlotte went mentally insane.

Trieste, Italy (Adriatic sea)
A gorgeous waterfront looking out into the Adriatic sea. It might be nice to settle down in Italy someday.

Trieste, Italy (San Sabba Concentration Camp)
A truly eye opening experience. You may not fully understand the realization of the Holocaust until you visit a concentration camp such as this one. Located in the middle of the city, thousands of Jewish civilians and political activists were sent here to be detained, tortured, transported and extinguished. 6 million Jewish deaths during the Holocaust.

Overlooking the city, San Guisto was the main military port protecting Trieste's ports from invasion (not Aliens).
