Tomorrow, Friday 21 June 2024, at the beginning of the summer season, the Bastione Rotondo bar at Castello di San Giusto reopens with the new management by Midnight Srl.
The bar is located inside the oldest and most evocative nucleus of the Tergestina fortress, the “Captain’s House”, built in the second half of the fifteenth century by Frederick III of Habsburg as a sign of his power in Trieste. The bastion surrounding the tower building was instead designed by the Venetians at the beginning of the sixteenth century and is today one of the most enchanting panoramic points of the city, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Trieste, its gulf and its wonderful sunsets.
The “Bastione San Giusto” bar will offer visitors to the Castle a refreshment of pure beauty: in fact, after many years, the tables overlooking the panorama are returning, under the terrace of the ancient Captain’s House.
Midnight will bring to the Castle its over 10 years of experience in Trieste with the management of Cemut, Stazione Rogers and Barakin San Giusto. In selecting the food and wine offer, the objective is to enhance local products, such as the wines and beers of the Karst, making Trieste residents and the many tourists savor them from the historic heart of the city.
The bar will always be active during the Castle’s opening hours to the public (summer: 10am-7pm | winter 10am-5pm). But it will also turn on night lights on various summer evenings: it will be open during all Trieste Estate shows and on some special occasions. From the month of August until the Barcolana, three weekly evening openings are expected (on dates yet to be defined).
Access mode
• during museum opening hours: with museum ticket (except for free days)
