Hotel Obelisco and an Opicina tramway car in Trieste

Historic photograph showing the Hotel Obelisco and a car of the famous Opicina tramway in Trieste, dating from around 1920. The inscription "Società Anonima delle Piccole Ferrovie di Trieste" is clearly visible on the side of the tram car, identifying the company that operated the line. In the background, the characteristic houses of Trieste's hilly area can be seen surrounded by vegetation. A passerby is visible on the left side of the scene. This image documents one of the most iconic symbols of Trieste's historic transport, the tramway that still connects the city centre to the Karst plateau of Opicina.
