Barbacan Square, Trieste – historic market scene

Historic photo of Piazza Barbacan in Trieste: a stone-paved corner framed by shuttered houses and a large arched passage. Baskets of vegetables and fruit fill the small market stalls as a few passers-by pause near the vendors. Weathered posters on the walls hint at neighborhood everyday life. A historic image that captures the intimate atmosphere of the square.
