Demolitions on Via Santa Maria Maggiore, 1939 – Church of San Silvestro

Historic photo from 1939 in Trieste: demolitions on Via Santa Maria Maggiore, with rubble in the foreground. At the center stands the Church of San Silvestro, beside the narrow Androna dei Grigioni and tightly packed old houses. Workers and tools among the ruins show a moment of urban transformation. A rare glimpse into Trieste’s Old Town.
