Monument of Trieste's Dedication to Austria at the Southern Station

The Monument of Trieste's Dedication to Austria stands in the garden in front of the Southern Railway Station. The imposing sculptural composition features a tall obelisk and an allegorical female figure holding a shield with the Habsburg double-headed eagle. The monument, enclosed by a wrought-iron railing, is set in a lush tree-lined garden with cast-iron street lamps. In the foreground, several people can be seen: a man sitting on a bench to the left and two children playing on the gravel path.
