Bagno Maria in front of the Hotel de la Ville, Trieste

Historic photo of Trieste: the Bagno Maria, a floating bathing facility with striped cabins, is moored in front of the Hotel de la Ville. Tall-masted sailing ships crowd the quays of the Port of Trieste, mirrored in the still basin. Waterfront palazzi and the hills frame the view, giving a panoramic glimpse of the maritime city.
