Trieste (town)


Port and administrative capital of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, on the Adriatic coast, opposite Venice; population (2001) 211,200. It is the largest seaport on the Adriatic, extending for 13 km/8 mi along the Gulf of Trieste. There are large shipyards, and an oil pipeline linked with refineries in Germany and Austria. It is the site of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, established in 1964.

History
Trieste was under Austrian rule from 1382 (apart from Napoleonic occupation 1809–14) until it transferred to Italy in 1918. It became an Austrian crownland in 1867, and capital of Kustenland. It was claimed after World War II by Yugoslavia, and established as a Free Post in 1947. The town and surrounding territory were divided in 1954 between Italy and Yugoslavia. The territory is now part of Slovenia.
