Canal Grande shortly before the filling in of its terminal part

The Canal Grande of Trieste captured shortly before the filling in of its terminal part. In the foreground dozens of boats moored along the quay, between piers and poles, while the buildings of the Borgo Teresiano are reflected in the water. In the background stands out the Chiesa di Sant’Antonio Taumaturgo, still overlooking directly onto the canal. A historical photo that tells the daily life of the city.
