Historic photo of Trieste, 1937: houses being demolished at the Roman Theatre site. On the left is Via Ghiaccera, in the center the uphill stretch of Via Donota, later removed. The facade with the “Macelleria” sign opens onto a lively square with pedestrians and carts. In the background rises San Giusto Castle.
