Piazza Dalmazia and Pagoda Fountain - Historic Trieste

A striking historic photo of Trieste capturing the old Piazza della Caserma, known today as Piazza Dalmazia. The scene is dominated by the unique pagoda-style fountain, designed by G. Sforzi in 1851, with large wooden barrels and carts nearby highlighting its role in water supply. To the right, the majestic Caserma Grande buildings, originally dating back to the era of Maria Theresa, frame the square. The image vividly depicts daily life with a row of horse-drawn carriages waiting in the background.
