Rena Vecia - Teatro Romano

An evocative aerial view of the Rena Vecia neighborhood, located in the heart of Trieste's Old Town. This historic photograph captures the dense maze of tiled roofs and medieval houses that for centuries concealed the remains of the Roman Theatre (Teatro Romano), partly visible in the excavation area. A valuable document showing the urban layout before the major 1930s demolitions undertaken to unearth the ancient monument.
