Step into the timeless elegance of Miramare Castle, a Habsburg retreat built between 1856 and 1860 for Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and his wife, Charlotte. As you explore the graceful white castle overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, the 54-acre park surrounding it unfolds like a living collection of the archduke’s travels as an admiral, with exotic plants and scenic pathways.
Inside, wander through over 20 lavish rooms, from Maximilian’s Chambers to Charlotte’s Music Room, each steeped in 19th-century charm. The Gothic, Medieval, and Renaissance architectural styles blend seamlessly, with intricate furnishings capturing the era. Outside, the park invites you to explore restored stables, delicate greenhouses, and the enchanting ‘Castelletto’—a cozy castle-within-a-castle that retains touches of Austrian heritage.
