Friuli-Venezia Giulia is also known for its fine wine. The region spans a wide variety of climates and landscapes from the mild Mediterranean climate in the south to Alpine continental in the north. 
Trieste
Trieste is a city in North-East Italy. Previously a very powerful and influential centre of politics, literature, music, art and culture under Austrian-Hungarian dominion, its importance fell into decline towards the end of the 20th century. Today, Trieste is often forgotten as tourists head off to the more popular Italian cities like Rome and Florence. But, it is a very charming underestimated city, with a quiet and lovely almost Eastern European atmosphere, several bars and cafes, some stunning architecture and a beautiful sea view. Trieste elegantly combines old Roman architecture, Austrian empire architecture (similar to that in Vienna) and a nice Métis sage of Mediterranean styles. Some of the main attractions include Miramar Castle, Castle of San Giusto, Basilica of St. Silvester, Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Church of San Nicolò dei Greci, Synagogue of Trieste, Temple of Monte Grisa, Basilica Forense, Palaeochristian Basilica, Arch of Riccardo, a Roman amphitheatre, Civico Orto Botanico di Trieste, Val Rosandra National Park, and Piazza Unità d'Italia.
