Piazza della Borsa in 1909 with the Grand Restaurant Dreher, later Borsa Valori

Historic photo of Trieste: Piazza della Borsa (Stock Exchange Square) in 1909. In the foreground, horse-drawn carriages line the tram tracks and a lively fountain. On the left stands the neoclassical Old Stock Exchange with its columned portico; on the right the building marked Grand Restaurant Dreher, later the Borsa Valori. Passers-by and shops convey the urban mood of the port city.
